programmatore is that a Ruf front bumper cover you have? Anyone have more photos of that look out there? Do ya'll think that looks to "heavy". How low does that put the front spoiler from the ground with an ROW M030? Lot's of questions, huh.

The RGT front bumper is quite a bit lower than the OEM aerokit bumper (probably comparable to the OEM aerokit bumper with the chin spoiler attached) and I do scrape on steep driveways/ramps if I am not careful. It barely clears those concrete bars at 7-Eleven parking lots. If you had the RoW M030 suspension (10mm lower front) then it will scrape those concrete bars.
Here are a couple more pics:

BTW, in the future, don't sugar-coat it. Just come out and say exactly what you think.

Like the others said, the wing is the RUF RGT wing. I like it a lot but unfortunately it is too tall and will interfere with the cab top mechanism without modifications so I skipped it. I could've had the posts cut down an inch and a half to clear the cab top but I was afraid it wouldn't look right after that.
Here are a few more pictures:

Note the scoops on the decklid in the first picture above. Very nice!

Thanks for the pictures. That is definitely the nicest, blended wing I have seen on a 996 in a loooooong time. I have been away from the board for a while, so I have to get reaquainted with all that is Porsche. Programmtore, your car is a beaut the shine is out of this world. I think I commented before that it almost looks artificial. I will have to read through the thread again to see how you guys thought I slammed the poor guys ride. I said yellow and taco, hmmmmm.
