I'm thinking about changing the front bumper to the Ruf style one sold by a board member. I am planning on painting the front bumper anyway (due to rock chips) and figure this would be a good time to do the swap.
Here's a pic of the bumper:

I don't think I want to do the back because the paint is perfect there and the Ruf exhause fits so good I'm worried they won't fit the same on the other bumper.
Here's a pic of the current rear bumper/exhaust fit and the Ruf style rear bumper:

Here are my questions:
a) Do you think it would look OK to do just the front?
b) Those of you that have done the rear, am I correct in thinkiing the exhaust tips won't line up the same?
c) Should I just keep the original bumpers?
If I do change the bumpers, I think I would lower the car and do wheels.

i am in the process of having mine finished off that i purchased from the same board member, i would do both, the fit of the tips is perfect but you may need to bring them out a bit since the ruf style bumper goes further back. I should have my car back from the painter sunday or monday and will post pics once i get it back, by the way i am in miami if you wantto check my car out once it is finished. Send me a pm i would like to see your ruf as well maybe we can give eachother rides in our cars
