If you are going to change the boot springs be careful, they are easy enought to take off, but its a different story getting them back on, the dealers have a special tool for this and I ended up taking mine to them, only took them 5 mins to do, I tried for three hours and almost lost 4 fingers!!!

Both seem to have an aerodynamic function, but I've never seen any specific info.
According to a previous Honda statement all of their body options are aerodynamically tested (I think it stated on less than full size models). No claims to the extent of the affects that I recall. Early independent testing of the AP1 showed some aerodynamic lift at speed without a spoiler.

I like the AP1's a lot better. It's subtle and flows really well with the rest of the car. AP2's, IMO, looks too...ricey?... just me, though. No offense.

I like the AP2 wing way better. It's really cool IMO.

That's the issue I think - the AP1 parts and AP2 parts seem to do better when keeping them with the correct cars.

I don't like the look of the wing on an AP1 with an AP1 front lip. I like the AP1 spoiler, but not on the AP2 with an AP2 lip. They do go well as a set, but don't seem to do well when mixed and matched with different years.

I'm against the side strakes on anything with any accessories.

The only spoilers for the S that I like are all flush mounted to the trunk lid. I think I really like the car better without a spoiler though.

Hi guys, do you know if the bolt pattern for the AP1 and AP2 spoilers use the same holes?
