"Show me your papers!!"
lol indeed. There are a few documented problems with the popular aftermarket GT2 front, and rear wings setups.

The GT2 front radiators are different, and if you just slap a GT2 front end on a 996 turbo the ducts will not align and the center radiator has an inverted slope. All of these are very detrimental to cooling. I had this corrected with a bit of fab work on the center radiator and some GT2 parts. My side radiator ducts have a custom made rubber "cuff" grafted on that properly directs air.

I use an OEM GT2 rear wing and mounting hardware that connects to misha deck. This required a bit of work to get the mounting points to align, and also to strengthen them.

If you do a bit of homework, you can make the reproductions exceptionally functional aero.
