Used a standard stick-on gopro mount, but used Gorilla double sided tape (standard 3M stuff wasn't strong enough and the camera fell off during my first track day lol) and some extra pieces to get the viewing angle, and it was solid. This way I just unclip the mount off afterwards, and it'll just leave the base stuck on the seat hole.

Also ran an external mic out to the rear bumper, but it's just stock exhaust lol. But figure it is better than hearing nothing from inside Lol.
Pretty smart little mount setup!

I tried mounting to that area of the seatback but either the seatback or my mounting system (or both) vibrated too much and made the video messy. Your mount looks more secure than what I did though so hopefully it works!

I have a new setup to try but I need to test it out to see if it will work like I want it too.

Never got any tracking information. Just started getting random texts and voicemails this morning, which seemed like spam...so I blocked them. 30 minutes later there is a box truck in front of my house...

can't wait to see it on the car.
This is the best piece of the Adro kit imo (actually not into the other parts that much but the wing looks fantastic)
I felt the same exact way. The lip looks too flimsy for track use....I'd rather have a proper splitter, and the other pieces just seemed kind of meh...

I really hope it actually looks good, and is nice and rigid. Would hate for this things to be flexing around all over the track!

i'm not into kits very much, but the adro kit actually looks pretty nice as a package. i do especially like the front lip, especially if it has aero benefits, but i couldn't use it anyway in my class if I do Time Attack next year

I bet it is, adro makes quality stuff.

The lip def looks flimsly, when I saw them install it with double sided tape I just roll my eyes (big pet peeve of mine lol).
