Another option is RUF. They make a front bumper that looks very much like the GT2 bumper with the main difference being that it has a built in splitter. Comes with all brackets and ducting to relocate the center radiator and properly vent air over the hood. It's perfectly flat and sealed on the underside. Made in Germany out of polyurethane just like the OEM Porsche stuff, OE quality, perfect fit, and designed in a wind tunnel to function at +220mph. About $4K all in.

 

Good thread. I am also considering one but i am in Europe. Has anyone bought one from this side of the ocean ?

 

If in Europe, why not go to RUF, or RS TUNING or MANTHEY, etc.

 

Mike Melville at RUF USA can get them no problem.

 

I've looked into this once before and while the OEM GT2 bumper is expensive, you are guaranteed a good fit and excellent quality since it is OEM. Aftermarket bumpers may be cheaper but when its all said and done the amount you spend with a shop getting it to fit properly may equal or exceed the cost of just going OEM to begin with. You could get lucky and have a good fit right off the bat but you never know.

 

Sadly Ruf no longer has stock of their bumper... And are unlikely to make more... Ask me how I know

 

If all you want is the "look" then many of the aftermarket guys are good. However if you want the other advantaged, more cooling etc, either go with the factory pieces or RUF which is very close.

 

Hate to dig up a older thread, but rather than start a new one, I'll ask here.

Has anyone used the Getty design Bumpers, if so how was the fit /finish. Thinking about Doing the gt2 bumper.

 

How about OEM. .no issues with alignment and it looks it. Until one looks in cabin to see rear seats -

 

I have a Wicked 997 GT2 on my C4S. After looking at a lot of them, I believe it is the best looking, and nobody who has seen the car disagrees. Still, it has it's weak points, namely the fit at the side marker lights, and underneath.

 

Question, if installed the gt2 bumper without changing the internal bracket etc, will there be any negative effects?

 

Dave, can you post a couple pics of your bumper? How many hours of body work did it take to fit correctly?

 

There have been many who have done this for cosmetics only but I would think those that run mid to high 3 digit speeds do the complete conversion for downforce and safety

 

those are the choices
