Pics of Ruf bumper (with flaw) and Misha wing painted
Okay, got some pics emailed from shop. Car still be tinkered with and alignment dudes couldn't get the steering wheel straight today.
At first, I was in love with this bumper. Now I almost like stock better. On top of that I found a fitment issue. Puffs out in front of the passenger side tire at the bottom lip area. Sticks out enough to look like crap. I am hoping the can squeeze it in and screw it done or is coming off and stock going back on.

The Misha wing was great. Very little prep work needed. Almost more impressed with the wing than the front end since Ruf should be sending near perfection for their prices.
You can kind of see in this picture where the lower front valence part sticks out from the tire. It is recessed or even with tire on other side. Not too bad from this angle, but I have another shot where it looks bad.

Here is the picture that shows the bow out. Not sure how they can fix. I can move it about an inch or so in, but it stick out a good three inches.
Look two pictures up and you can see the lip is even with the tire on the driver's side. It sticks out a good three inches on the passenger side.
Am I being too picky?
I heard stories about stuff being sold by vendors I have seen or heard about on these sites though that even went so far as having to be cut in half to make fit. There were two brands that are fiberglass that sounds like the prep work required to get them looking just okay costs almost as much as the bumper and they apparently still look a little off after all that prep work.

I don't know. Here is the stock and MIshas wing before painting. I love the Ruf bumper except for the large lower lip and that fact that it is warped on the passnger side. If I can fix the warping, does it look better than stock.
You can definfitely tell I am ghetto now compared to the ride height in this picture.

that RUF front looks great in black.. and the wing is my fav. Hopefully the front works out.
