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 !

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.

You can order the RUF bumper through GT-Racing for under 1K.

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

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
