Had some detailing done and ordered some new hood shocks.

What are you using to secure the mesh? Cable ties?

The RUF bumper has pre molded bungs in the backside and uses screws that secure the mesh.

Ruf bumper + mesh screens look awesome.

To the posters who responded to my last post, my car is Seal Grey, and I've since worked out the bubbles in my PCA sticker. ;P

Here's what I did today -- new tires!

Thanks! Im going back tomorrow for a half day run group. So much fun.


Your car looks awesome-- in case I missed it, is that OEM GT2 front or aftermarket?

Mine Is The Silly One Next to it. But it is oem and looks so nice compared to my wart-ed front stock bumper. I tried doing the "duraflex" gt2 10 months ago and it was the worst aftermarket bumper ive ever seen... and I'm 30years into the automotive refinish business. After getting the aftermarket bumper I realized oem is the only way to go for these Porsche parts.

cured my idle "hunting" issue in 1:15 seconds ( including the TB "reset" lol ) with a new bosch #124.00 maf. 180$ on eBay.

not bad he says with smug satisfaction ha.

I was contemplating the aftermarket front bumper. Good to know that I should avoid it.

Not necessarily...agreed you should be careful, but there a few great aftermarket bumpers to be had. TechArt for 1...

I just converted from my early 2001 "wart" bumper to a new non-wart bumper. All OEM. My bumper had some damage from where the front plate was ripped out of the holes and some other chips and dings and what not, so it wasn't just about the bumperettes. It was expensive to do with OEM parts, but I'm of the opinion that the original designers usually get these things right, so I was happy to stay with a stock look. Plus you know the fit is going to be perfect.

Interestingly, when I had the warts on there I would say that they weren't that bad and people make more of them than they should. If I'm honest, now that they're off I don't know how I lived with them!

I also just swapped out my winter wheels (and so far it's snowed about 4-5 inches today with more falling, go figure). Annoyingly I just noticed that I put the back wheels on the wrong side (they are directional). Back to the floor jack...

Ok, I'll rephrase - I was looking for an inexpensive aftermarket bumper... Techart is $7k. Precision Porsche is $2k. Duraflex is $500...

"Inexpensive" is generally synonymous with "junk" when it comes to most stuff for these cars. That certainly applies to bumpers..
