I have already started production on those kits. Received 700kg of raw aluminum this last Wed and have been cutting stocks since the last two days

(at the shop right now, staring and waiting for the machinery to do their things, 02:46am!)

Aiming at getting the kits assembled and packed right at the end of February so Pelican can have them somewhere beginning of March (I'd say if all goes well, no earthquakes, stocks are replenished on March 15th certain).

Sincere apologies for the lack of (everything really). Improving improving tho...

It is so rad to hear your getting to set up right.
Congrats, and keep up the good work.

Lovely work

super nice renders...dunno how many polys, but your 986 models should be converted to Assetto Corsa, as there haven't been any 986s in any games since Porsche unleashed 2000.

"The God father of all water cooled roadster is the 986 and not the 718/550, no matter how hard Porsche tries to tell us"

Seeing all these great renderings of each type of projector on the cars really is making the choice difficult!

I'm aware and apologize for that.

At the end of the day, each and single one of those 3 models brings 'one' end result. I don't need to explicitly describe what that result is, judge by yourself mate. Those renders are to help with this

Cool visuals Martin, thanks for those buddy

edit: taking time to look at these again reminds me I should have noted how clean and well cared your wheels are Martin (in & out). Respect man. Personally speaking, and as a sport car fan, nothing annoys me more than seeing great sport cars with neglected wheels. Thanks for that pic, nice one there mate.

Some incredible work! Unfortunately I'm in the UK, otherwise I'd be saving up for a number of what you're making

Maybe I'm being ridiculous but I can't actually find where to buy these Could someone link me to a page where I could look at the different options and prices?

Or is it an 'enquiry & made to order' product?

The link to Pelican Parts website where these projectors can be orders is below:

Hope this helps.

Every model is 'Temporarily Unavailable' on the Pelican Parts website...?

And is there any option for UK buyers?

Stock=March. Projector options, yes many optic's cutoff plate/line is the other way around for the UK (I know, don't ask).

I'm sure the guys at pelican will be happy to ship to UK. If they refuse I'll fully understand tho lollll In any case I'll make sure you get a kit, no worries.

We are still debating about how to put up an effective "made-to-order" system however we haven't yet concluded anything yet. These chaps at Pelican seems pretty busy so I understand why this could quickly become a hassle for them.

Regardless, and in the meantime, I'll deal those special colors myself from this end. Until we've organized something that works.

So yes to your question, you'll be able to order the Red Vivo in March. Just don't know from who yet but that doesn't really matter. Same price really.

Thanks for the interest by the way. Cool choice if I may add
