Looks fantastic

Dose it affect the down force and do you need a larger rear wing to balance the extra front or dose it have less down force and cause more under steer at speeds?

But dose look great

Google Wicked Motoworks and/or do a search on this site and 6speed. Caveat emptor.

All that being said, I hope you're not thinking of doing that to your nice Ruf modified 6.

OEM 6GT2 is fine, but not that thing - GMG has a nice repro of the 6GT2 front, not sure if its functional

A 6 with a 7 bumper looks like Frankenstein IMO.

Any 997 front looks like ****e on a 996.

Bolt-on a 996 GT2 front if anything. GMG 996GT2 front.

Why not buy the original RUF bumper for your car and complete the look. I've never regreated the decision for my Rturbo and you will feel the car is much more stable at higher speeds. There's also a new set of 996 RUF aero parts in the US on ebay right now at okay prices if you consider the shipping cost from Germany if you buy from them. If you want more pictures of the complete look even with the mirrors, let me know...

Agree with above just buy the Ruf front bumper since it fits right, looks like gt2 front and has correct venting and etc. I think it's around 3k
