The front bumper/valance assembly weights about 52 lbs, or about 40-44 if you try to strip it down to the non-essentials. How about a front bumper/valance unit that replicates the 84-89 style, without all the rubber, keeping the openings for the fogs, right oil cooler intake venting, and turn signals. Do not do a center opening for an oil cooler as you see with all the others on the market. Set up an option to attach an extended front spoiler or design some type of attachable splitter. The closest thing out there now is the RUF replica front, but those have a big hole in the front center for an oil cooler, limited openings for the stock fender coolers, and are limited in what you can do with front spoiler extensions. Maybe you can extend the valance about 1.5" deeper than stock so the factory front rubber spoiler can be used, increasing it's effect, yet still look factory.

Steve, Great to hear from you. Yes your chip tune was exactly what was needed! Runs great. It could use a little tweak on warmer days, but runs awesome during these cooler months.
Your bumper idea sounds like a great for sure. How many do you want
Most of these ideas i would need 6+ people interested to help pay for mold costs. Otherwise it would be a good personal project.
I currently have the stock rubber splitter on front, and someone was asking above about a fiberglass replacement or carbon fiber one. I think it could easily be made by my fabricator. He is currently designing some widebody Ferrari's.
