Default check out my new bumper

thought I would share my find...
just picked this up on ebaymotors...looks like it could supply some extra cooling and get rid of the bumperettes
does anyone know if this is a gt2 bumper, if not, what style is this?

thanks-

That looks to me like a regular Euro 993 bumper and someone cut some cooling holes to mount intercoolers down low or maybe for cooling the turbos????

Just guessing here, but it doesnt look like a GT2 bumper to me...

the GT2 rear bumper is the same as the euro rear bumper Vrus . You simply pull it out furthur to attach it to the flares on a GT2.

it's a euro rear bumper with holes cut in it and mesh added to let heat out of the mufflers. if you are running w/o mufflers it's just cosmetic IMHO

should have her next week and I'll let you know.
can't wait to get this thing painted and installed...I think it will really add to the aggressive look while adding functional cooling

nope that is US bumper note the license plate sizing . I think what you have is a euro rear bumper (gt2) fashioned to look like the Ruf one

In another thread it was mentioned that Ruf makes two rear PU's: one for US plates and one for RoW plates. see https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...uf+rear+bumper
