2150 Euro plus shipping to US. Probably $600.

were the hoses for increased water volume and was the rad cant/relocate to adapt for the hoses, to fit the Ruf bumper or to increase flow? Thanks again.

no to all of that. the turbo radiator has the hoses on the bottom. the gt2 has them on the top so the center radiator is flipped and some longer hoses are needed to be cut and adapted to fit the water lines of the turbo. the can't is because there is a duct in front of the radiator to capture the air and force it thru the radiator . then there is a duct behind the radiator to direct the airflow up and over the center of the hood

went to a porsche dealer site and I attached is the price list for GT2 OEM parts. If I didn't prefer the Ruf bumper this might change my mind. $4,775 for the bumper alone, that's $6,500 cdn...ouch

The bumper was installed on my car by a RUF technician. I assume that they do it at the factory using all factory GT2 hoses as that is what was put on my car 10 years ago. There is no splicing of hoses, all oem parts. The radiator is canted forward to direct air flow up and over the hood thus creating downforce.

Center duct area is where the RUF instructions seem to lack. Irish and I had fun figuring it out and the duct went in upside down from what it appeared. If anyone gets stuck on this he and I may be able to help.mhonestly it's a very well put together setup and I'm struggling with doing it myself. Just not sure how it,would look with the skirts and whatnot, need to line my car up next to Irish's and do some figuring lol. I think the price is worth it for a complete solution that's not 'glass.

Does the kit come complete with all required hardware and plastics? Other than the gt2 coolant lines. The ruf site gives no indication of a packing list.

No, it comes complete but the instructions were t clear for the center duct. Body shop guy couldn't figure it out so he and I had to fit the center duct. We got it in there properly just fine after some head scratching and it went in upside down from how it looked like it ought to go. I don't recall us needing anything other than a strip of plastic I used to reinforce something - memory hazy honestly but he has some pics and I'm pretty sure he posted details here about it. I'll ask him to chime in with his recollections. IMO it was pretty damn complete and fit better than my 'glass hood and waaaay more durable since it's an OEM style urethane. I REALLY wish there was a 997 styled urethane bumper using the LED DRL available!
