How much does the Ruf unit run? Where do you get it?

Thanks,

I don't think I've ever seen photos of your car before. She's a beauty.

I ordered my RUF RGT front bumper and side skirts from Weissach in Canada (http://www.weissach.com). That was 2 years ago before the Ruf Auto Centre in Dallas (http://www.rufautocentre.com) opened up. Check with both of them to see if they are running specials. Their prices should be pretty close since these parts are ordered from RUF in Germany (http://www.ruf-automobile.de).

Here are a couple more photos:

One more picture -- the real reason why I chose the RUF RGT aerokit over the others.

You gotta love Gran Turismo!

LOL!!! Oh man at least you're honest, I love GT4 too. I really like the RGT stuff as well, and I think Mashaw makes a knock off front bumper.

My lord that is some serious damage. I had something not even close to that and it ran $800 to restore back to factory spec. Really isn't any of my business but that my friend is NOT a cheap fix. My guess, if you want that fixed right, is easily $1K plus. Emphasis on fix it right.

Yeah, the damage to that Turbo bumper looks pretty bad. I agree with Dell that it doesn't look like an easy fix. On top of that, the OEM Turbo bumper will not fit Tracy's 2000 996 because the headlights are a different shape. In order to make the OEM Turbo bumper to work he woul dhave to change out the fenders and headlights as well.

When I first saw the pics, I thought this was the Mashaw "knock off" bumper bowmanm98 was talking about.
