Some latest work visuals (anodized colors)








Below is the look that the customer is aiming for (w/ red calipers). We also got those GT Porsche Center Caps machined and packaged! Those caps are a direct replacement for the OEM Porsche center caps. Fits any/all Porsche wheels.






Champagne color bezels, for a champagne color 996. Those will look quite posh on Nick's 996 cab

Pictures taken with a Canon DSLR camera:
Standard flash silver with custom script







A full silver kit, with clear anodized projector skirts. For those who wants to leave the reflector/bowl in chrome.

Fred, do the original high beams still work then after the solenoids are connected, i.e. are the solenoid wires spliced in? Or are they redundant and the only highs are from the projectors?

MitchSF's idea, not mine. And Yes I agree it looks good.

Soon a lot of owners will have better looking shinners than mine unfair
