I'm okay with that idea. I think the Ruf front bumper is too heavy looking on a NB car without a wing. Very nose-heavy.

Here's the pics
Looks like they did a nice job. Good luck with the setup on the street. IMO you should paint the front mesh grill a flat black.

Looks really good Dave. Did the shop paint the entire bumper or just the spoiler?

Cool man. I might have to get a shop to do mine because of my workload right now. I'm sure if you're careful not to bump a curb it will be just fine. I don't know about you but I'm always really careful with stuff like that and have had plenty of cars with low front spoilers and have never had any problems.

Like I said before I think it looks great and the spoiler was a steal at that price.

Happy New Year!!
