Apr spoiler on a carbon fiber trunk???

Just like the title states. I'm thinking of putting on an apr spoiler, but I have a carbon fiber trunk. Any issues. Advice? I will have metal brackets under the trunk to help grace the spoiler... But should I custom do a metal spoil then add the apr wing? I like the way it looks on the car. Personally though I know there are plenty who hate it. But I'm seeing what you guys think about putting it on the carbon fiber trunk I'm a little apprehensive to do it with that trunk.

How much did the carbon fiber trunk cost? Maybe that will help you make a decision, can you afford to replace it should it crack? If you start cutting into it or drilling holes, you definitely risk compromising the structual integrity...

Drilling is not my concern. People drill through hoods all of the time. I've drilled through hoods countless times. My concern is on a track day I go out, or even out here on the freeway say take a turn or anything that puts uneven downforce on the trunk, if flexes to twists slightly and the clear coat cracks. Carbon fiber is strong until its twisted.
