Group buy RUF bumper install
I just thought that I would shoot a couple of pics - the girlfriend is very tired of looking at the car :-) Professedly installed bumpers, 993 mirrors, silver badge on the hood, turbo tail, new tires and wheels and clear front lens.
Next up: exterior trim and door handles painted, new rear lens and reflector, SSI and dansk exhaust, carpet and trim............  Thanks everyone - I have learned so much from this board! Brendan |

I bought one from BW Motorsports after the group buy. But, didn't get the RUF CTR. Got the 930S style for a 911. it'll be installed soon.

Thanks Souk! That means a lot and I just could not pass up those bumpers and Brad was great! Although, they did sit in the garage for a few months as I saved for the installation.
tsuter - TQ and HP???? (HP=horse power) Always interested in any ideas bS |

Brendan,
Car looks great. I have two questions: 1) what did it run you for the body fit and paint? 2) where did you get those clear corners?

Scott -
Thanks man! I didn't break it out, but I paid around $1600.00 for installation, paint, new front windshield and seal and rear window seal - all installed. I think myself handy, but not that handy The front lens I purchased from Mike Healy - bdtwocars@hotmail.com he has an online store. bS |

Looks great! If you could, would you post some more pics of the bumpers - from the side and a full frontal? I am getting really interested in the RUF bumpers myself.
How are the bumpers mounted - did your shop build a support structure of some sort?

Is it my imagination or do the licence plate lights point toward following drivers rather than the plate?

Here are a couple of more shots as requested - I hope that you can see the front better. I live in Portland Oregon and wont have any sunshine for a few more months :-)
The license plate lights are not pointed to the following drivers - I just used my existing lights. They don't work all that well, but they work just the same.  Thanks for all the comments, bS |

Since the original licence lights were mounted prpendicular o their current mount, they are pointed wrong for the application.
You might want to think about BMW lights or something like this

Thanks Bill -
Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking that far ahead when I dropped the car off. And when I went to pick it up - I wanted to drive it now, not later. I will pickup some something better - where did you get yours? bS |

The BMW 2002 ones work well also.

Has anyone with the Ruf style bumper successfully put on a front spoiler?

Nice job, Bill!
How did you mount it? Is it just a rubber piece? |

Unfortunately what I did is no longer an option. The lip is a Ruf part which they tell me is NLA. Yes, it is just a nicely shaped piece of rubber, this shot shows the attachment
