Post Is Saleen wing worth the extra weight and problems?

Quick question:
I've heard a few times that I shouldn't put a Saleen wing on my '79 Coup because of its uneven weight. I've heard that over a while, it has the tendency (because it's so big and leans back so far) to actually pull out the bolts in the front of the wing where it is attached to the trunk lid. I know some of you have the wing (spoiler) on your cars. Have you ever experienced any problem like this? Is it really heavy? It looks awesome (don't care if many people have it-- don't care), but the coup with the simple look (ie, no wing) also looks very neat. Need some advice. Thanks.

Naw mines still tight, even after a few 125 mph blasts.

Thanks MiracleMax. Anyone else? If not, that's okay. Just debating over whether or not I should get one on my coup.

Not really sure, spinemup. Probably not now, anyway, but thanks anyway.
