Anyone running SCRS front bumper?

[CBA]

Great Product, got it from Rothsport. Great guys to work with. Looks a little out of sort now but once car is lowed they do look real nice as you can see by the other people who posted in here. Black car isn't mine, it was at the Werks reunion this year in Monterey. He took out 1" in length to bring it in a little bit which looks just perfect and had no rubber trim on it. Looks great. I"m going to redo mine like this.

They are very well made as to shape and fit....excellent. My only issue with them was the thickness of the FG...it is light.
I took FG / matting and backed the stone chip impact areas in the front bumper/valance area and in the rear where gravel may be thrown...around the wheel wells and in the rear area.
Just a peace of mind thing.....it takes no skill as it will not be seen but makes them a bit stouter.

I love that green, its begging for soft gold trim and wheels. Love it.

Did you happen to weigh the EB front SCRS bumper before you installed it? I neglected to weigh mine.

Beautiul car BTW.

no, I did not...very light tho and my 911 is now 2300 lbs with a full tank of gas...not the only lightening I did tho but a major one front/rear. Thanks, it turned out nicely.

I like the classic look of that valance but it looks like it would be unstable at higher speeds since there really isn't any aero on it. Is this an incorrect assumption?

That’s nice. Who makes this one?

Gold would be great but went with black This RUF 993 Turbo was my motivation.

Jon.....not sure yet, the valance does square at the bottom being a bit of a dam but nothing like the original SC rubber...I've had it to 110 and the car felt a tad light but then again...it is....but it also felt planted. I'd have to track it to know and run higher than that in different settings.

Black is a solid choice, and your green is much better!

I think the factory SC rubber valance would look/perform good on it I don't know if it will fit or have the rigidity needed for it.

It is rigid enough but would be a poor choice due to being too low....you don't want to scrape pavement with a FG front end.
I think a short splitter, 2 in. projection, would do the trick and look good too.
Like I said at 110 everything was good.....how often do you drive 110 on the roadways?

If tracking is the deal I'd go for a more aggressive snout.

This guy doesn't seem to have any issues and he has a whale tail too....there are side rubber extensions due to the width but nothing under the lip....what you see is the protective steel tube as on mine.

Mine was rock steady at 120 plus indicated (Targa Californis 2017) with the SCRS front bumper, a duck and no other aero.

Mine is about 2330 w/ 5 gallons of gas and estimating 30# for the SCRS bumper. It has a f'glass rear bumper and duck, rest of the body is stock. I still have the OEM manual sport seats but lots of other deletes including factory sun roof delete.

I was just down at the site of this shot the other day. Was on my bike and took the back road to Revzilla.

I've deleted/removed a bunch of stuff but it doesn't seem 'stripped'...all of the soundproofing/sunroof etc/SCRS door cards/perlon carpet/all back seat stuff to include deck and side panel covers over the seat belt mech/mirrors now Vitaloni/all AC/cruise/backdated heat w/no fan in the engine compartment/SSI's/no spare/no jack (fix a flat elec pump)….huge water tank and system/lighter batt/ recaro head rest cloth seats hand adjust/and some stuff I've forgotten I suspect. With the '83 euro @ about 220 it goes nicely....like the 'guy' said...add lightness....just love it.

Thanks for clarification from experience!

FYI Bumper weighs 10.5 lbs. Just weighed mine.

I should weigh the stock bumper/valance/rubber pieces and the two shock absorbers...heavy stuff. I especially liked losing that weight hung out as far as it can be in back.

What are people using the lower ducts for? It looks like some people are mounting fogs. Is there a way to fashion a duct for venting to oil coolers or brakes?
