Help ID'ing Deck Lid and Wing

Nearly a 10 year lurker, posting for the 1st time tonight!
I am planning to pick up a 997.1 S with sport chorno and some mild mods.

I want to add an aero or GT3 style bumper and wing right away. Looking for used or aftermarket stuff as this will be a daily driver.

I ran into this wing locally. It's not what I was looking for but the price is right.

Can someone help me figure out who makes this? Is this too over the top fugly, or is it somewhat similar to a legit setup?

Deck is an RS style, but the wing and upright mounts are universal. If you search for carbon GT wings/spoilers on eBay, you'll see that these come in different widths to fit almost any car you want to install them on.

It's not as legit as a real GT3RS set up due to the wing being mounted directly on top of the deck. The real ones come up from the sides of the lid.

I don't think that style of spoiler is too wild, but I don't think this particular setup is executed well since it's just thrown in top where it doesn't belong.
