I looked under Vorsteiner. I had to look again, and it came up after about a million other hits for their front lip. They want $2000 for this bumper though and it doesn't look that good in other pictures.

Similar but the lines around the left and right air channel are different. The lip is also a different shape than Arkym.

WCM3,

Nick is right, it's vorsteiner in OP's photo. Here are some ARKYM's AeroRace Full Carbon Bumper photos.

See it looked like the lines around the brake ducts were more pronounced with the arkym bumper. Maybe it's just the picture you posted, Nick. Couldn't see the lines as well because it was straight on..

But yeah, getting back to it's a vorsteiner tent, with vorsteiner everything else..

IIRC: the splitter for the vrt gts3 bumper is replaceable...makes repairs more feasible....
