Wing help so my FD can fly!

Okay so here's the deal. I had a cheap CF wing on the car and decided to get rid of it when I was rebuilding the car. Now that the car is back up I want to get a legit wing. I've been looking at getting the origin lab GT cuz it looks sooo sweeet. Anyway the thing is that I have holes already drilled in the hatch and no they are not the stock holes as this car originally had no spoiler. The holes are spaced 27 1/2 inches across and about 4 1/2 inches above/below each other. They are centered with an imaginary line bisecting the holes. So after looking around I am trying to find a way to reuse these holes, so that I don't have to have them filled in, but since there are no sites that should where the mounting holes would be I was wondering if there were other FD owners who have large CF GT wings that could tell me the spacing on the mounts of their wings.
If I have to drill new holes that is fine as long as I can cover up these unsightly old ones. Thanx!

I had the Origin wing on my first fd that went along with the origin body kit and you have to drill holes toward the center for the stands. if you want to use the stock holes, APR GT 300 or GT500 carbon wings are made for the FD to use factory wing mount holes.

I do not want to use stock holes considering I don't even have stock holes. I just want to know measurements to see if they are anywhere close to where I have holes drilled now which is why I have the dimensions posted up above.
