That's a knock-off version that's made out of FRP . And, I suspect that the fit and finish is very crude .

This may be a dumb question but here goes. If you add a bumper like this to a non-S does the air going into the center cavity cause problems?

The short answer is no. In fact, you'll find that virtually every aftermarket bumper incorporates the center air channel . This poses no problem for a non S boxster . It's simply easier to create a single design .

On this replacement and on the one you have (Johnny D) do the under body shield and airdams that were stock all mount back in on either S or Non-S.

I'm not exactly sure what your referring to ? But, a properly designed aftermarket bumper will utilized the same mounting points as the original, and there shouldn't be any reason to eliminate underbody shields or air dams (?) .

You are correct, I was hoping to have my wheels ready by then but things happened. Anyway here is a crappy cell phone shot of what it should have looked liked at the Palooza. Ignore the lovely cars in the background

I still can't believe I didn't win best Boxster...lol

I recall from a previous for sale post by another member that was selling the same RUF front bumper, it comes with its own under body shield and airdams.

I know that the Ruf bumper comes with it's own dedicated set of front intake ducts . However, I'm not sure about an underbody shield . Most aftermarket bumpers reuse the oem ducts . Wingnut2u should know.
