Exclamation 1999 factory-installed Aero Kits, need your help

If you have a 1999 model year 996 that has the factory-installed aero kit (XAA code on the option sticker under the front hood), and your car was built at some point in 1998:

Please open your car's engine compartment lid and tell me if "Made in France" is imprinted next to the PD and Turnwald stampings. Or is "Made in France" missing?

I'm on a hunt and am in need of clues.

Thanks.

Are you asking about the origin of the spoiler? I'd so, yes they should say France for the MkI AK (aka taco wing).

Yes I was trying to determine if even the earliest Aeros had that wording on them. It appears they do.
