My take on a RUF CTR front bumper installed last year.
Last week, I re-glassed and re-fitted the side markers as they were not perfect earlier and I installed a bumper lip made from some sort of conveyor belt.

Looking good!
I'm glad you are getting good use out that bumper :)

Indeed :) The rear bumper will be a lot more work to get to fit nicely ... A lot of gap under the tail lights at the moment.
Do you know who made them? Where did you get them?

And don't know if you still remember but I picked up a BAE turbo kit the same day when I picked up your bumpers. This is still not installed ;) Got to have some goals for the coming years haha

I apologize in advance if this has been covered somewhere in the 60 some odd pages in this thread...

I noticed that some of you keep the "rubber smile" when installing the RUF front bumper whereas others do not have any rubber between the hood/fenders and the bumper.

Is there a reason for this or completely stylistic?

Just a personal style preference. The trunk is sealed separately so there's no issue there. From memory here, but I think you can use a standard Carrera (like G50 years), or a 964 (I think that's what I did?) or nothing.

I found them on kapaza.
Can't remember from whom I bought them.
You did a nice job, looks very nice.

I remember the turbo kit in the back of your car, because it made me jealous...:)

It's just a matter of personal taste. I like the 964 smile as it's a bit wider so the top of the CTR bumper doesn't seem so large.

This thread is amazing.

I may have overlooked it in this thread, but I'm trying to find a solid source for the brass wire mesh guys are using on their CTR bumpers. I've got the old impact bumpers off and I'm looking to go with the CTR look this summer.

Have fun. ;)

And I'm continuing on the rear, fitting the rear RUF CTR bumper ( Cut exhaust outlet, aligning, ....)

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1493982699.jpg

All this because of what we did last week :D SSI heat exchanger + Dansk 911R style exhaust.

Where can you get these bumpers now?
Is BW Motorsports still making these?

Wavey 05-30-2017 02:51 AM

Pretty sure BW (in O'Fallon, IL) is no longer around. I'm local and bought a number of things from him. I could drop by but I think he's out of business.

Rear bumper modified with 2 out exhaust cuts, should be painted by end of this week!

SPDADCT 05-30-2017 10:42 AM

My bumpers are from GT3TEK- Better Bodies in San Diego. The overall quality is very good compared to other FG parts I have seen / used previously. It does take some fitting and finessing like all FG parts.
