32Krazy if I remember correctly its about a 25 degree tilt forward from it's normal position. With the RUF kit I have said before and will say, the instructions aren't the best at all, but it comes with everything you need and it fits amazingly.

 

You posted some pics when we had the nose off somewhere didn't you? Might help folks with that center duct.

for any questions folks may have about the bumper or instructions.

 

Will do! cars are 'side-by-side' for storage so will be extra easy

 

Getting this old thread back to life.
I will buy a RUF bumper too, since i got a replica GT2 Decklid and wing. I prefer the look of the OEM Gt2 bumper, but the OEM pumper is way too expensive.


The GT2 wheel housing is necessary for cooling the brakes effectively?
I hopefully will get some proper instructions for installing the Center Radiator, otherwise i will bombard them with questions on the phone.
Shouldnt be a problem since there is no language barrier
If i know the trick, i will let you know guys.

 

You can add the factory 996Cup splitter to the front bumper for track use. Works on the street but severely limits the bumper clearance. It attaches with the OEM plastic push rivets or use nylon bolts so it can easily be mounted and dismounted. The Cup lip is cheap at under $200 so it's a consumable and protects the bumper from scrapes. I would add the GT2 fender liners only if you add the upper brake air guides otherwise the liners serve no purpose with regards to brake cooling.

 

Great infos!
Thx pwdrhound

 

I forgot to ask. Do you need to drill holes in the Ruf bumper to make the 996cup lip fit? Any picture material maybe? Thx alot.

 

The bottom of the RUF bumper is flat. To install the Cup splitter you need to drill holes just like on the GT3/Cup bumpers. It's simple to do as you simply flip the bumper upside down lay the splitter on the bottom of it and mark where the holes need to be drilled. You can use the plastic push rivets as is done by Porsche on the GT3 and Cup bumpers. I don't like that much as these don't give a very secure attachment. What I did instead is drill smaller holes and installed steel blind nuts (T-nuts) from the back side of the bumper. I have the blind nuts protrude about 3mm below the lower surface of the bumper and the splitter slips right over these. I then use nylon bolts to secure the splitter. It works perfectly as the nylon bolts firmly secure the splitter to the bumper but will shear off in a substantial impact allowing the splitter to detach. This protects the bumper from damage. I'll try to take some pictures when I take the car to the track next week as I have to remove the splitter prior to loading the car on the trailer.

 

Have one for my car to go on but not gotten to it yet, fun stuff!

 

Great stuff. Thx alot again. You are a source of expertise and knowledge.
