Check the usual suspects -- MA Shaw, Getty Design and NR Auto. I don't see it on their websites but who knows how often these guys update their sites.

tell me about it...
isn't their hydraulic height adjustable suspension like 30 grand?
integrated rollcage...probably another 10 grand.
then again, its like what we say about motorcycles and atvs and stuff. its a recreational vehicle, and if you've got the time to play, you better have the cash to pay.

Damn that is expensive! I guess the $2,400 I paid for the RUF RGT bumper and sideskirts two years ago doesn't seem that bad now. All these parts come from Germany so I am not surprised that Weissach's and RUF Autocenter's prices are about the same. The Euro exchange rate is killing us.
Have you started the headlight conversion work yet? I know the RUF RGT RS looks hot but the old RUF RGT is not too shabby.

if i don't get my lights shipped out this week, i'm going to ask for my money back and then just go with the old style ruf.

As I understand it the cost for the parts will depend on the exchange rate. Generally speaking the cost of the entire kit is $5300 which includes the front bumper, side skirts, rear wing, and mirrors. However, you can save considerably if you just purchase the front bumber and side skirts which according to last week's price was $2488, plus delivery. I just checked with a local shop this morning and I was quoted $850 to install and paint the pieces. I figured I could always add a wing later for a lot less (RUF RGT Wing = $2088, and mirrors = $995). Compared to other kits out there with OEM-like quality, this is a good deal IMO.

you should call up getty design and ask if they will do/have the facelift version.
