Screws in the production model LFA?
I just saw this: http://www.auto-journals.com/features/183
Was this addressed in the production model or not? I realize that the first shots of the production model had an integrated winglet as seen in this shot.

Compare to the prototype:

Yep, that was just a temporary thing for the first few prototypes. The winglets are now attached by a strong adhesive tape.

For comparison's sake, here is the Whitest White Prototype LFA borrowed from Lexus Europe during the Miami press launch for the LFA back in October 09:
These were the first two near-production LFA's at the time both with screwed in winglets, Whitest White (Europe) and the Matte Black/Pearl White/Pearl Gray/Wrapped Orange LFA (USA):
