Nope, not as good; ITS TEN TIME BETTER!!! Literally optic-quality clear, no defect, same material (pmma) and professionally coated (scratch/chemical resist). Not all that bad, Bran The brake feature is optional of course, just omit the extra connection.

Our SkyBreaker Club so far:
TTGator, robdelorenzo, Kboggs, Dubaday, maytag, bg305, Troy.Boxster,Starter986, rick3000, Bran, Jeffrey

*Update*

I've seen that our RGB Led PCB mfg was completed today so once we receive this (late weekend?) we'll be able to prototype on the micro and get drivers working. Also ordered ICs for the driver, we'll try the TI's TLC59731 (single-wire driver) and a ULN2003 Darlington transistor arrays. We are dealing with common anode leds here so not exactly sure who will win the switching job, let's see when we get the parts.

Once we have the RGB and Brightness circuit all dialed-in, we'll move on to an input for the brake signal and wrap this for the electronic part of the upgrade. Should be easy, not!


^ If only I could learn to be as efficient as these guys. They wrap-up hundreds of completed pcb in-a-day these chaps, go figure :/
Hi 986,

I'm requesting some clarity, please.

Are you selling the entire unit? I pop out my windscreen (store it... sell it... trash it... whatever) and for your purchase price I receive an entire unit? You know, snap it in... "plug" it into some juice... and I'm good to go? In other words, as another poster suggested, I don't have to dismantle my existing part (removing the clear "glass/inserting your "glass"/ snapping it all back together bull****************)?

Also, are you going to be engraving onto the "glass"? You know... Boxster... Porsche... 986... etc?

Thank you for your consideration.

Cheers!
