Scott (and anyone else having the Ruf front bumper) - how does it compare clearance wise to stock and the turbo S lower? From the pic of Rufus on the 993tt calendar (Feb) it looks like it extends farther forward but height above the ground is unclear. Another measure might be can you run (does it do any good) a Carnewal FPB with it?

Here is a visual on that.

No "S" spoiler
2 "S" spoilers and
1 Ruf front bumper

Just curious. Will the front bumper fit on a NB 95'?

I doubt the FPB will be of much use; like the TT S spolier the Ruf spoiler looks too "square-jawed"; it'll do a good job of protecting the FPB!

Yup. I cannot use the FPB, the S splitter hits first.

I put this question to Gert sometime last year. A definite NO was his answer.

Doug,

I recall measuring the clearance to the ground for Rufus, and comparing it to Yugi's Turbo S spoiler. The RUf bumper was quite a bit lower, and I believe that Yugi's car actually sits a bit lower than Rufus. I don't recall the exact measurement.

Default Hey Steve

Question; the Ruf front bumper mold. Did that originate from the factory bumper I sold to the guy that just had to have it for his own car?

Somehow I just don't feel good about that deal.

Comments? Public comments?

Hmmm...those would be sweet with a cutout for Euro plates, or perhaps no plate cutout at all

I assume these are fiberglass?? TIA

If Ruf doesn't make or sell them anymore I don't see a problem. Would you have refused to sell or charged more if you knew it was for commercial purposes?
