The rear bumper is a high quality German TUV approved piece that is distributed by FVD here in the USA.
Contact Rhonda, she is excellent to deal with.

I wonder how Alious Ruf feels about them ripping off his RGT bumper and adding a few slats and scoops? Not knocking your car, it looks nice, a bit over the top for me with all the scoops, but its yours, and if you like it then thats all that matters. It does after all have the correct badge on the front!

Obviously you have never seen the Hamann bumper and side skirts in person to see that they share nothing in common with the Ruf. Perhaps a better question would be, how does Nissan feel about Alious Ruf "knocking off" their 350z front bumper?

Sorry man, your car looks good, its just that that front bumper looks alot like an RGT bumper with vents in the top and the scoop on the side. It was just an observation, not intended to degrade. Maybe I worded it a bit wrong initially.

They are close, but I can kinda see how it may be a bit more different in person. Its all in the angles! Looks like the rad intakes on my bumper are a bit wider. My bad, I retract my previous comments.

Hi, That is one of the most beautiful clean conversions I have ever seen on a boxster.

Congratulations and enjoy

No offense taken. You made an excellent choice with the RUF bumper. The use of PURIM in their design makes for an exceptional fitting piece. The Hamann pieces were brutal to "craft".
