Default GT3 wing question swap fitment

I know alot of people switch out their gt3 wings for a GT3 RS wing. My question is will a GT2 wing fit onto the GT3 997.2 trunk lid/struts?

Actually, VERY few people change them. A GT2 wing will certainly not fit on a 997.2 deck lid. I can't confirm, but a 997.1 GT3 upper wing may fit a 997.2 lid as the mounting and mounting points appear to be the same. If it does work, you will need to set it at a steeper pitch angle as the 997.2 GT3 wing actually produces more downforce. You have another issue if you want to try to swap a GT2 or 997.2 RS deck lid as they won't work with the 997.2 GT3 (same as 997.1 GT3 and RS) airbox. You will also need a 997.2 RS airbox or similar aftermarket unit.
