I don't think so. It's a GT2 Side Intake modified to be GT2RS from DB Carbon. It was much less than the OEM GT2RS.

I plan on going with the gt2rs side skirts shortly. But I'm a little biased. I just put on the mirrors, intakes and rear panel. They really transform the look...

I replaced mine with the RS (2/3 are the same) I love the subtle difference. Worth it if your replacing anyway

Unfortunately, the non oem parts don’t usually fit well. Unless of course they use the oem mounting plates...
