Default Apr spoiler?

Does it have the same mounting holes and foot print as the ZR1?
Thanks

Can anyone provide an answer to this question? Interested in replacing my factory installed ZR1 spoiler with a carbon fiber APR spoiler. Thank you

I have one on mine, but I wouldn't know if it is the same footprint as the ZR1. The center portion is of course, but it is still easy to install. I guess, if you have a ZR1 spoiler installed already then it would make sense to want to know as you have holes already drilled.
I would contact APR and get dimensions of where the holes are located in reference to the center holes.
I looked on their website and they don't have any info on dimensions..

Default Apr spoiler

I had 3 different c.f. Spoilers on my 2012 GS Centennial Callaway vert. mine came with the factory zr1 style spoiler. The spoiler was the modification from hell. I believe yours will have 10 factory nuts with attached washers and is relatively easy to remove.(after having the 3 spoilers on and off probably 15 times trying to get the first 2 work and or fit correctly I was beginning to think I could do it blindfolded) Anyway, My apr mounted slightly different in that the studs aren't attached to the spoiler. You have to use their studs which I believe are Allen heads. You will come up from the bottom. I had to enlarge some of my holes because of not all of them lined up perfectly to just screw in. It took some time and patience as its not as simple as just screwing on a nut but I was very happy with the apr piece. Keep in mind the apr is not an exact replica of the stock piece. Mine is slightly taller and just a tad bit less wide. This I believe is necessary to strengthen that very thin piece below the brake light. It's beefed up on the apr. I had to use the centennial stripes from my vert hatch and custom cut them to fit the apr one. On a side note, I also put and ever so thin bead of silicone around each hole and the edge of the spoiler to keep it from resting just on the paint. It being a bit narrower, you will see a line where the old one rested which will buff out. I did mine when my car had 23 miles and the line wasnt obvious but it was there. My car is completely outfitted with carbon now but the spoiler was the modification from hell. Apr was the one that came through for me. Good luck, you're gonna love the spoiler.

Super...You answered all my questions. I guess if I want to do this, I'll need to live with the "shadow" in the paint at the outer ends of the spoiler. Thanks for the reply.
