Sorry man, I'm confusing you even more! There's nothing wrong with calling it a GT3 style bumper. This style of bumper was originally made for the turbo-style headlight 996. Before that the GT3 bumper made for the fried egg headlight 996 (like the headlights we have on our cars) was called the GT3 MK1 bumper. If you look at the pictures of front bumper on my car you'll see one of these. I have an OEM GT3 MK1 front bumper. The picture you just posted is a 996 with the turbo-style headlights and what's called the GT3 MK2 bumper. The GT Motor Sport fiberglass bumper is most clearly a copy of this GT3 MK2 bumper except modified to work with our fried-egg headlights. So GT3 style? Yes, just like the GT3 MK2. GT3 RS style? No, that's a completely different bumper that I posted pictures of earlier.
