Bryan, do you have the part number for the wing?
i plan to take out the wing for daily driving... will the oem spoiler covers the holes? the mount on your pix seems quite long. how many screws are on each base? Thanks

There are two bolts on each base. One of the bolt goes right through the OEM indent for the OEM wing. I do remember seeing that for sure. The second bolt, may not go through the OEM indent, it may be a "foreign" hole you have to make. I did take a look at the OEM Honda wing and it does look shorter than the APR bases. I'll take some pictures of the bottom of the trunk and let you know.
View of the wing from the rear. Also, a nice ground level view of our soon to be released twin tube titanium S2000 exhaust.

I already have the universal GTC 200...
The downside is that the bottom of the bases and mounting pads don't follow the lines of the trunk, so they don't sit flush on the trunk. Do the new bases use the same holes as the universal bases, or would I have to drill new holes? If they fit in the same holes, can I order just the new ones?

the new bases are curved to follow the outer edge of the trunk. It uses the oem mounting point plus one additional hole you have to drill yourself.
The benefit of mounting the wing on the outer edges of the trunk (other than aesthetic) is that you don't have to reinforce the trunk. If you do a search you will find that other members with the universial mounts have found that the downforce pressure created by the wing causes the trunk to warp.

Is this a universal? Just noticing the different placement of the feet.

curses! If only APR had mentioned this was about to be put on the market when I ordered my wing (mentioning it was for the S) less than a month ago...

See the difference in the wing bases?

Here are the mounting points. The one of the holes goes right though the OEM mounting point. The other hole that is towards the front of the car is non-OEM, but still within the OEM rain channel. So even if you run your car without the wing, you will not leak water into your trunk. The trunk will still fully seal water out.
Sorry about the crappy camera phone shots, but you get the idea.
