I already have a rear wing for the car. Just need a front end to match.

I haven't felt any aero imbalance with my GT2 rear wing and stock front bumper, even at the track. It seems like the Ruf bumper is really the way to go, but I'm having trouble justifying the $6000 total cost between parts and body shop it'd cost to get it on my car

Highly doubt that is tangible below 150mph.

So, to clear up misconceptions, from what I understand almost everything is actually available from the dealer.

I just had almost everything priced out.

The only thing NOT available is one radiator support, and I haven't fully researched it but from everything I've read, that's not even necessary.

How much was the total the dealer quoted you?

Someone needs to scan and 3D print the OEM GT2 parts to fill the demand. Would be easy money.
