I think I like the sharper crease that the ruf and this bumper have, just seems to tighten the look up a bit.

My '99 has a cracked front bumper not worth repairing, and the front bumper is really the only styling element I don't like on it, it's just too rounded and soft. I've looked at the standard offerings and like the ruf style the best so far, but it has kind of a deep chin that doesn't match the rest of the (stock c2) car. Any other good options?
If you like the RUF, you could probably look at the aero side skirts to complete the look. I saw this online not to long ago and thought it was pretty nice.
If keeping the original features of the car is important the 996.1 Aero is a nice choice, a bunch of companies sell fiberglass, carbon and polycarbonate examples in fact there is a factory new one on Facebook Marketplace for only $3500 😀

While my favorite aspect of my car is the aero, there�s a Japanese company called C West that made aero for a JGTC series. I tried reaching out to them directly but they are no longer made.
I like this one too but it's a .2 bumper even if available. I think I like the sharper crease that the ruf and this bumper have, just seems to tighten the look up a bit.
Great mind think alike... entertaining the idea of making my own after exhausting my search. brainstorming a little photoshop to start, perhaps had too much fun...
I would like to see the air vents for the radiators more open. Get rid of the piece that splits the inlets and open it up more. The car needs more airflow to begin with and thats where I would start. Then drop the bottom part lower more by extending it. I could design a really cool one but don't have the time or money to fab one up yet.
That particular car was the inspiration for my build and the RS is the whole reason why I bought a .2. It�s my favorite 996 period. They tweaked the front just a tad and I really do think the same can be done to the .1.
