JPJSR,
I am not sure. We installed the rear wing first. I noticed that disclaimer too about only using the aero bumper with a rear wing. I read somewhere that the front bumper adds about 40 lbs of downforce....not sure where though. I think the car would look unbalanced with just the front bumper. It hangs so low and wide that you almost visually need something on the rear to offset. Aerodynamically, it seems inconsequential that 40lbs of downforce up front can offset the weight of the engine in the rear!
I can tell you for sure that the car feels a lot more stable at high speed than when it was stock. Of course between the aero kit and lowering, it should!

Bob sorry for the questions, is your car lowered? If it isn't, what's the height from the ground to the lower spoiler? Thanks for the front bumper answer, but my question is more like if you just use the front bumper, do you run into instability issues? Porsche states that the Aerokit Front Bumper should not be installed without the rear spoiler due to instability issues? Has anybody have or heard of this? Thanks Bob! Great Looking Car!

White Rock,
I love the Ruger's looks. They have come out with a forged version that is around 20lbs. That would save about 8 lbs a wheel! They cost twice as much though.
I did the photo shoot for Avant Garde and love having the wheels on the car. Dealers have used the pics in their ads. But, those pics were taken before the wing and front bumper mods....so the car looks different now. I may do the unthinkable and switch them out for lighter Forgestar CF10's or just go all out and get the HRE P40's since "Bob" has a different look now anyway.

nice work! I was bitten by the same mod-bug last year and have a few before and after pics of my own posted. Have been contemplating on a rear wing but haven't found one that I've fallen in love with. Maybe the vorsteiner? we'll see..

It was taken off for clearance purpose. At one point this was my DD. I scrape even now sometimes on regular front end. Nothing major, but if I had the Aero front I would definitely do damage to it over and over again. There are some weird roads and driveways here in vegas.
