Default Ruf front/rear bumpers

Does anyone know of a source for the famous Yellowbird Ruf front/rear bumpers for an 82 SC?

There are several companies making reproductions of the Ruf front and rear bumpers.

MASHAW
http://www.mashaw.com/

GT-Racing
http://gt-racing.com/

American International Racing
http://americaninternationalracing.com/

Getty Design
http://www.gettydesign.com/

I don't think Weissach makes their own pieces.
Weissach
http://weissach.com/

I personally don't have any experience with the above companies. I've come across them during my research for my 78 SC.

Hope this helps.

Default Yellowbird

The BW bumper appears to have a license plate section.

Eric:
How did you re-create the 1972 style oil filler door? That's very cool!

Thanks to all. Do these spoilers/bumpers use the standard turn signals/lights? Also do they have lights for the license plates?

Mark,
I took this picture from the MASHAW web site so its probably a true early 911. My wife likes the RUF look so my SC will go this direction. I have to decide on who to buy the pieces from. I also have to decide on the tail...carrera, turbo, or IROC? Suggestions?

Anyone know if The Racer's Group makes their own pieces? I've noticed that they have Ruf style bumpers for a good price.

I have an MA Shaw duck the fit and finish were execellent I would expect their Ruf style peices to be the same. Mike wa sa straight shooter and easy to deal with too.

They sell Getty Design pieces at the same price as Getty. I've orded from Getty in the past and they were very easy to deal with.
