Which rear bumper is this?

I was at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb meet-n-greet yesterday, and saw these two lovely vehicles while wandering around the parking lot. I 100% fell in love with this rear bumper, and was wondering who made it:


My Google-Fu lead me to the RUF Yellowbird/CTR. It certainly looks similar. And it looks like replicas are available online. I'm guessing someone took a non-turbo replica bumper and added cuts to mimic the RUF. But in the same area was this car:


It has a similar bumper, without the cut-outs, but it has a super long "deck" between the center light and the license plate. It's less "tucked in", if that makes any sense. If I ordered a bumper cover expecting to receive the first picture and instead received the second, I'd be quite upset.

So... Who makes the first picture bumper?

Agree the second one is definitely poorly fitted. Ultimately it's fiberglass and fitment. Easily rectifiable. The louvered version looks custom. Bottom line is buy from a known quality manufacturer like Getty and expect hours of fitment, especially if you want it tucked you have to cut the ends off and section it.
