RUF front bumper 986

But the RUF looks like a trick Boxster S and the GT3 looks like, well, a GT3.

Very true, no argument, circumstances have placed me at a point in life where 1,700 for a cover just isn't doable anymore. I'd rather put a new flywheel and performance clutch in.....

The Ruf bumper comes with the necessary larger ducting to the rads and proper under body panels to seal it all up so the rads still function properly. That coupled with the money you will spend at the body shop getting other non-factory parts to fit properly make it worth the money in my opinion. Then again maybe I am just trying to justify spending the money on the bumper and side skirts I bought for my car.

Todd do you have a few more pics of your car you can post? It's gorgeous from the front end.

FYI regarding choices GT3 bumper was a factory part with a factory number, it fits like a glove.

Compared to bumpers like Hamann, Techart, Gemballa ect..; the likes of which all costing 3k plus, the Ruf bumper at $1,800.00 is extremely reasonable. I agree with Quickurt, the Ruf is more of a signature piece. Also, keep in mind that the Ruf bumper was designed to be more aerodynamic and functional than the oem bumper, and not simply cosmetic upgrade as many bumpers are. Take a look at those aggressive air ducts that are designed to create additional down force and cooling.

The GT3 bumper is the other one I was considering besides the RUF one. I have a couple other considerations. First, I already have the Porsche Aero II side skirts which I have seen in combo with the GT3 bumper and it looks good, but haven't seen in combo with the RUF bumper. I think they would also look good with the RUF, but I'm not as certain. Second, I have one of the Special Edition cars that already has a bit of a unique front to it. I'm not 100% sure I want to remove it at all since it's a 550, but it's easily the area of the car I like the looks of the least.

Decisions......decisions....

The Aero II sideskirts will look just fine with the Ruf bumper. Here's a shot of my pal Steve's ride, which has those items...

They look like a wheel that Victor offers.
