Sorry, I couldn't resist poking fun at myself again! Now I am beginning to understand how Phil feels when I pick on him!

Really? RS wing? Those are totaly functional on the track, but should probably just be used with GT3's. IMO they're too much for our humble C2's on the street.

Resale? You mean the depreciation could be accelerated by adding the RUF kit?

I vote RUF.

Ruf. It's a little different than the rest of us which makes it special and it's much more aggressive looking, imho. While I really like the MkII oem kit, when I see it ... I can't help but think GT3 bits on a C2.

But then again, I might be slightly biased.

Great advice thus far - keep em coming.

I was watching the movie CARS with my son this weekend (2 years old - starting him early on my pcar hobby) and coudn't resist laughing when i compared the 996 female car to ours! The stock front has to go! just waiting for its mouth to move! LOL

Redridge - the Cup Car front end is also an option for me as well - gotta love the radiator vents!

If there is a tuner who is capable of finding that beast in the Honda, you couldn't have picked a better town.

OK I want whatever is going on with those headlamps. What do you think that is? just some smoke tint?


Oh and to the OP, it's really not much of a question, pick the one you like better! But if you pick the one I like, then the Mk2 Ruf it is! (and a Ruf kit installed at Ruf in Dallas will NOT make your car any less marketable. Alois Ruf from Pfaffenhausen is pretty much the only name in the aftermarket for Porsche that truly means something positive to aficionados of the marque)

I vote RUF.
The way I understood the OP originally was asking if he should add an OEM or a RUF body kit to a stock C2. Now it appears that its already RUF'd out on the inside therefore it should continue to be completed by RUF.

I am curious what RUF mods are done to this car.

Details and PICS?
