Default Turbo front spoiler lip on GTS bumper?

I've already read the forum discussions about the lip differences, but I still have a question.
Aero front lip (99750598316) increasing in price to $1995 at Suncoast
The GTS lip (which is slightly less aggressive with no openings) is now up to $1495

*My question is if the 06 - 12 997 Turbo spoiler lip with mount to a 997.2 GTS front bumper, even with minor modifications?*
The GTS and Turbo front bumper's bottom edge look nearly identical at the mounting surface.

Update: I read this post where someone put a Sport Classic/ Speedster lip on a Turbo and it wasn't long enough:

That means a Turbo spoiler lip will be too long for my GTS bumper, most likely...
