Using an air/liquid intercooler on this car is very unlikely to be as effective as the stock air/air intercooler.

I think you should look again, the exterior looks exactly like a GT3RS... the GT2 is wayyyyyy different.

It looks incredible, and that may have given me the push I needed to get a 997TT!!! I'd do a OEM GT2 front and OEM GT3RS rear.

Well parts of it do and parts of it don't.
The wing is clearly GT2.
The front and rear fender treatments are more GT3RS.

Wrong again. The wing looks NOTHING like the OEM GT2 wing. Front bumper, rear bumper, rear fenders are all OEM GT3RS parts.

This car is pretty awesome, but it has one major flaw. With no air-flow through the intercoolers, I wonder how exactly they are positioned inside the fender to work effectively. Seems like a good way to go from a look-only standpoint, but the efficiency of the motor must be heavily compromised.

Same part number, so yep, it's the same. All of Porsche's 911 front fenders carry the same p/n, so from a fitment standpoint, all the bumpers hould line up. Hell, a GT2 front bumper will line up to a regular Carrera's fenders, but the mounts and duct routing are different.
