Not only that but the RUF is a quality bumper that FITS and isn't fiberglass! I'm waits for a friend to get his car back with it so I can look at it next to mine and figure out if my Techart pieces will look okay with it. If so, I'm ordering one asap!

FWIW, The TechArt II GTS also has the proper set-up for the ductwork (brake and radiator).

For the money I dont think it can be beat. And from my understanding fit and finish is spot on which in itself saves more work and $. 32krazy, have you already done the full conversion or are you still gathering parts?
I have everything to do the conversion just havent had the car at home long enough to actually install it

Make your own like I did. More fun, can tune it, and a 3rd of the cost. Better balance the rear though!!

For me, my car is limited by a ST-1 power to weight of 6.25/1 with slicks. I can be competitive with a 997.1 cup but a 997.2 with good driver is going to be 2-3 seconds faster on millers outer loop.

That's good info Park. Kind of what I figured. There is a large disparity between a 6, 7.1, 7.2. If someone tells me they're out running 7.1 or 7.2 cups with competent drivers, I wanna see the video.

BTW, we've all booked hotels for Miller. Should have a group of us coming, myself, a 997TT, couple of 6GT3s, 7GT3, GT4. Cervelli will probably come too and race the Spec Boxster. You should run the Z06. I'd love to see that thing on track...

Don't even know. It was a few years ago before I was into Porsche's enough to know the difference between them. I'm at 5.4/1 power weight since I do not run a certain class and can do whatever I want, so it's a quick car.

Canards work wonders. I bought some from a company that went defunct and got an immediate second once I put them on. These particular ones were pretty ugly though. Now I have some Joe Toth canards which work as well. Building a splitter is cheap and easy, but buying from Joe is even easier.
