damn brian you went technical on that...uh huh...yep lol 
i believe the guy meant if it would break and fly off its mounts like fiberglass hoods and carbon hoods do if they aren't mounted down by pins. we'd have to see what kontra says because if he just drives his ride on the street and at short distances then he most likely wont get any impression/signs of it ripping off...maybe if he's willing to go 80 on the fwy for a few miles? lol i wouldn't risk it but if you are like me who drives nearly 100miles a day to go to school then i would suggest getting pins on the trunk. although it would look a bit tacky.

By wing I think he meant rear spoiler, I don't think the car will fly.
Really though, I think it is probably just as stiff as the regular trunk.

wing: device used to manipulate airflow in which air moves both over and under.

So if you want to get technical, the stock OZ wing is a wing as well as the Evo wing. Evo wing just happens to be bigger and more functional. Indy cars have wings, Nascar has spoilers, for example.
