Got the same wing made my own brackets that hook to my frame. On my third different style wing actually. But yea it's very nice. I will take pics tomorrow if you would like.
I took off lower back plastic. Made some L shaped brackets out of come 2 inch wide stock steel I got from tractor supply. I took blue painters tape and taped off top of rear deck to lay out where brackets would go drilled holes down through deck. Went underneath and mounted L brackets in place drilled 2 self tapping screws through each bracket into frame. I can actually grab the mounts that hold the wing and shake the shit out of it and the sling moves back and forth. It's really solid and strong.
I have a set of mounts I could send you and you could see if you want to go that route with that mounting set up. I mean before you commit to a wing and mounting set up. You could just set them back there and get an idea of placement and the look of it. The first wing I had was ABS plastic. The screws pulled out of the wing. The second was aluminum and was solid. But it was to small from side to side so that lasted about 4 months. Then I found the carbon fiber wing and got that one. The best part was each wing used the same mounting hardware so I would just remove the old wing and remount the new one with no problems.
@chad warren do you find the 57.5 inch a little long, aren't there some 54 's out there, how long is the standard slingshot only one, anybody know ?
I went with a bigger one I liked the look from the front. It to me seemed to fit the SS better. I will get pics today for you guys. Bruce Wayne send me a PM of you address and I will get those mounts out in the post office and to the bat cave asap.
I don't have pics of the process. But you don't live far from me and you could come over and we could mount the frame brackets. Don't mind helping out. I did snap some pics of my wing for you though. I got to adjust it a bit cause the front wasn't tight when I last drove it and it fell forward.
Yea worst case scenario it's your first spring time mod to do. But yea I got a warm garage I work in on all our cars and toys. It really is not that hard to do. Most of the mods on the SS you can do with basic hand tools for the most part. But let me know I can help if you want I've done quite a few things to mine. I have a 2015 and definitely been with the SS community from the begining. Learned alot on my own and even more from the awesome members on this site.
Nice! not bad for "winging" it
@brucewayne I have the same type of set up and mine is also attached to the frame. I have had it on over a year now with no issues and even hit over 100 mph and also no issues. The only issue is if you don't like the wing you have a deck with 4 small holes in it. I priced the deck and it runs close to $700, which is still cheaper than buying the other wings offered.

Or you can get the rear carbon fiber sticker kit that goes on the back top deck and cover the holes. But yea it is still cheaper than some of the carbon fiber wings out there. But I love my wing and think it finishes of the rear nicely. That's Probley the one thing I've never really liked about my SS was and this is my opinion I feel the rear end could have been finished differently.
