1. Wheels *
2. front & rear badges *
3. extra center caps for wheels *
4. Front Ruf valance *
5.Ruf steering wheel *
6. Ruf pedals *
7. Mirrors *

I presume those wheels are highly polished and not chromed...great looking. The RUF in the ad was equipped with Fuchs(ironic) Keep us posted. There is something about those cars that is just superior. When I brought my car into Prototech in Ft.Lauderdale to be worked on I put it next to a BTR that had really been run hard..no passenger seat, just a fire extinguisher, paint beyond faded (black) , race seat, ducting through the rear quarter windows straight to the engine. .Beat up.. but I would have traded the guy no questions asked ... RUF was legendary

Unfortunately it's Chrome but I plan too strip it and just have them polished
Funny thing their were two sets of chrome RUF speedlines on eBay at the same time I got one of them the other is still there

Installation update
Had a little trouble with the steering wheel they sent the wrong size adapter too slide over the steering housing so I used the original adapter ring and bolted it too the new column housing with steering wheel with lock nuts and spacers.
Also
I over tightened the front RUF badge and snapped one of the teeth, tried too glue but no avail so I dremeled the other tooth off and got 3M adhesive NASCAR rated too 200 mph and cut too fit it for the logo.
