RUF Bumper
I had a request for some pics of my RUF front bumper, as soon as my new wheels come in I will post some more but here is one pic for starters
Here is an action shot (those are my kids driving)

Yes, I added the vents, personally I think it makes a huge difference in the aesthetics of the bumper, but that is just my opinion.
I am thinking about wrapping the hood in a matte black, like the new GT3, which should look nice when I get my old wheels back on that have the black centers and red lips

I concur, the vent adds a nice touch !

Looks great.
Didn't you already have a very nice carature (SP?) bumper?

I wanted to buy that same one but Alois was asking 2K if I remember right, add paint and it was over my budget, went with the GT3 and lip.

Yes I did, but unfortunately I hit a curb and cracked the underside of the CTR bumper. When I went in for an estimate the body shop just happened to have a RUF bumper in the back, no brainer, I swapped out for the RUF bumper

where did you get the side intake? I'm thinking about adding that with the Boxster Spyder Porsche lettering for the doors...Just adding some black to the mix.
Maybe I'll just get a second set of OEM and paint them black.
I'm also trying to find a set of winter wheels that aren't 19" with the updated Pcar look.

I think your hood would look nice if you used a single stripe down the middle like the 4.0 GT3.
It ends neatly at the hood crest. Maybe with a little white on the stripe edge.

It includes an undertray. The entire assembly (bumper, 3x ducts, and undertray) is actually quite heavy. I have pictures of the whole thing spread out in front of my car somewhere. I'll see if I can dig them up.
The aftermarket knockoff RUF fiberglass unit I had prior was about 1/4 the weight, but I was worried about it cracking on a speedbump.

Thanks for the compliments!
@Perfect, I am with you on the stripe and that will probably be my next experiment with the graphics on the car
