It looks like the knock-off from Vegas Aero is for the wide body version of the TechArt bumper in question. If you do some research, you'll discover that there's a difference in dimensions between the two .

It will be interesting to see. Also, be prepared to meet some challenges if and when the time comes to fit and install it . Ask me how I know ?

Not trying to "take the wind out of your sails", but even under the best of circumstances most of these aftermarket aero parts require an awful lot of finessing and fine detail work in order to obtain an excellent fit and surface prep. With that said, a couple of reasons why you should consider the Ruf bumper is because it's made from polyurethane (PURIM) and the fit is spot on like the oem bumper. Wingnut2u can attest to that .
