Look great Marin! Did your shop have a hard time installing those bumpers?

This car was on the lift the last time I saw it. Glad to see it on the ground again and looking great!

Great additions Marin ! Those seats are killer. Given how the Konigs look in your car I'd definitely consider buying a set of these. However, given my current experience ordering a few small items from RUF USA in Michigan (going on 4 months), I might not see them until next Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all !

I bought those Koenig seats (without the Ruf embossed logo) from a Koenig distributor in California... about 1/2 the cost of the Ruf-specific seats. I then had matching leather headrest covers made that were stitched with the Ruf logo. The seats are absolutely terrific, with great bolsters. Its hard to get in and out without dragging your *** on the bolsters and scratching the seat leather. I put a little black duct tape on those spots to prevent any wear, and I've learned a way to wriggle in without dragging any parts (head first, right arm on opposite seat, then right leg, butt, and finally left leg).

Thanks guys for all the kind words! The car finally looks like what I have wanted it to be since I bought it - so for that, I am very happy!

Funny, I had no idea that this was not an OEM center armrest - it does look like the one posted by Curve Lover without the keyed lock. It does however rub a bit against the ruf seat ***** (they have ***** on each side of the seats).

The bumpers were a pain to deal with (so much so that the body shop would not believe that they were genuine Ruf parts until I showed them the invoice!) ... there was a LOT of fitting work!

Lead time on parts I ordered so far from Ruf USA was generally as discussed (long) so I don't have any issues with them. Maybe Canada vs USA creates additional lag? The alternative is to order the seats from Koenig (without the Ruf stitching etc ... as ca993twin outlined).

Happy holiday season to all!

Your car looks great!

I was just curious about the bumpers since I thought Ruf stopped making these about 5 years ago. Ruf in Dallas could not get them for their customers. Are you sure they were made by Ruf at their factory? Did they have Ruf ID tags on them? I am not trying to discount your bumpers I'm just curious.

Congrats
