I sent them an email saying there's a big group and asking their MOQ's. Will let everyone know what they say!

I sourced one from Autobahn a few years back. Might be worth calling those guys or LA Dismantlers and let them know you're interested in it if one comes in on a car they're tearing down.
I have also heard the rumor that RUF may start producing it again. Maybe now that they finally established a US subsidiary/distributor, those who want them could start sending them messages of desire for the parts to be remade?

I feel like I talk to Mike at least once every 2 weeks about these and black floormats with red script.
RUF has a distributor/retailer in Vancouver BC. I can't get them to call me back or email me if they have one or not. I finally abandoned the idea.

I would take one, probably two.
I have been communicating with RUF as recently as five days ago I offered to buy 20-30 spoilers if that would help expedite the manufacturing process.
His response: thats not the problem. My engineers are in process.
This will take time.

Awesome.
judging from the replies to this thread it’s probably closer to ~50. Hopefully hearing from us as consumers can/will only help expedite.

I'm pretty confident it's not a demand issue. RUF's renaissance has them building and selling as many full carbon fiber SCRs as they can crank out. Most of the parts they do have for sale seem to be old stock, some of which they're likely holding back for repairs on actual RUFs. Maybe if we were talking about ordering a few million dollars worth of front lips they'd reconsider their priorities, but looking at the quality of the part I don't think they make much money--if anything--on a front lip. 50 orders is maybe $5-10k in profit? Not super compelling to a company making $1m cars.
There's a reason why Singer doesn't sell their parts, and RUF may be heading in the same direction.
