New front bumper help me decide.

Well the new C4S is on order and should be here in a few months. Want to change the front bumper to give the car a little more exotic look. Was dead set on the Ruf bumper put just ran across the new bumper from Vorsteiner. Both bumpers are very similer in design but the Vorsteiner also comes with a compliment of carbon pieces including the Radiator Inlets, the middel rad cover and also the lower front lip. The car is going to be speed yellow and i think the contrasting carbon pieces would really stand out. In addition the interior will be outfitted with various carbon fiber pices inclunding the Carbon package, carbon multi wheel, and carbon door sills. I was alos thinking about addin a carbon roof spoiler like the one from Techart. I think the carbon outside and inside the car will tie together very nicley without being to much. Not to fimilier with Vorsteiner's reputation for quality and fit and finish but looks like a top notch product. Its a tough one so let me know what you guys think.

The Silver Pics are the Vorsteiner and the Green the Ruf.

I haven't seen the Vorsteiner kit in person, so I can't really comment on it. The RUF bumper gets my vote, but then again, I am biased for some reason...


My Ruf bumper came with wire grills and radiator covers. I agree that a new bumper definitely adds a more exotic look! I highly recommend getting a clearbra to give you peace of mind.

Speed yellow with Carbon/Black accents will look hot! Let us know what you decide in the end.

I say the Vorsteiner.
The contrasting carbon to me is the deciding factor.

I give Vorsteiner +1 love the carbon pieces by the Radiator Inlets, I also like the rear carbon fiber wing w/decklid. You have ask yourself how much do you want to spend? The Ruf front $3700, rear wing $7300 total = $11,000.0
Vorsteiner front $4633, rear wing $3161 total = $7794.0

+1. Hard to beat the GT3 bumper in looks, or at least in the bang for the buck factor.

I would say to wait for the new relaese of the new VORSTEINER front that must be relaesed this month, as they mention here on the forum....

Myself I want to go Vortseiner all the way, because everyone has RUF, Techart or GT3....so be different!!!
