Thumbs up APR wing questions...

I currently have a GTC-200 APR Racing wing on my S.

It is the universal mount setup where the risers sit more towards the center of the trunk sheet metal, rather than the edge, like so:



I notice on the bottom of the wing there are 2 sets of holes. The universal mounts are installed in the higher up center portion of the wing like the picture above shows.

The other holes are mounted more towards the edge of the trunk, on the lower outer sections of the wing. To me, it looks like these holes would be so you can use this wing section with either the S2000 specific risers, or the univeral risers.

S2000 specific risers shown here:







Ok - now I want to switch to the other S2000 specific risers, since the universal mounts require the trunk bracing inside to be cut and it is just mounted on the sheet metal so it is kinda flimsy and already I notice a little tear on the driver's side.

Can someone confirm if I can just buy the different S2000 specific risers and install them on my stock trunk lid and they it will all bolt together ... or do I need to purchase a new wing with the risers and try to sell this one?

Well, I think you're going to have a hard time just buying the S2000 stands. Your wing was drilled to accept the universal wing. The spacing isn't going to be right on the wing itself to accept stands in a different location. I think getting this right would require modifying the wing itself. I think you might be better off Ebaying the wing and buying the S2000 specific setup.

Good luck!

My S2000 specific GTC-2000 also has two sets of mount holes. I think you can just use the S2000 specific mounts to convert your wing from generic to S2000 specific. I do not know if APR sells just the supports. Call them and ask, they are pretty helpful.

Weird. My S2000 specific wing does NOT have 2 sets of mount holes.

hehe Guess it depends on the type of wing you get.

I have the universal wing as well and want to know the best solution to install the wing on my new trunk since my old trunk tore the same way the OP's did. Let us know what u decide to do.
