Wind Vibration

Fellow Members,
I was curious to all owners who have added a rear wing to there beauty queen. I have the Techart Type I and from time to time I look back and see the spoiler vibrating in the wind at certain speeds. Is this doing damage? Or is a little vibration from rear wings normal? I do not want to effect the arrow dynamics in any way. Please give me your experiences

I think it's normal for the wing to be feeling the force of the wind traveling over the car. That is, after all, why it's there. However, if you can visibly see the wing vibrating a lot then I'd say double check the mounting. A little vibration is normal, but if the vibration becomes a shake, then I'd be a little concerned.

Thanks Tom for your response. It definetly does not shake so your remarks puts me at ease. Any other members experiences who have added a rear wing to there 997?
