RE the 2014 Boxster comment. As you can see from my whole thread... I am just having fun mate. Didn't really meant/believe that. I do however make it obvious that I'm all up for serious aesthetic improvements whatever it takes  |
No offense taken.
The obvious quality of work you are producing is fantastic! 
With all my cars, I have always appreciated what the original designer/engineer/team has offered. I guess I'm just a "clean-sheeter".

Thought I'd share what some designer/engineer/team have done to this GT1. Even the PRO in the trade would recommend to swap those old style headlight to modern looking black interiors with far-far-far better optics!
Not as cool and switched-on as my kit but you get the idea behind the 'well needed retrofitting' of this particular Porsche headlight model

a kit that I'm very proud of (w/ pics)
Latest work in anodized Zanzibar red. Custom made for a member here. This one was a challenging one as the color is made of Red (3parts) Yellow(1 part) Bleu (1 part). One of every anodizer's nightmare!
Had to drop by the P dealership to look at their factory color pallet to try to understand what am I dealing with. Zanzibar is not red and it is not orange.... kind of a mix in between (e.g. sunset orange). The color reflects orange'ish in day light and red'ish in night shades. Extremely hard to achieve given anodizing are often limited primary colors. One of my most challenging project so far.
We should start seeing these HOT bi-xenon projectors on owners' car very soon I'm hoping

Was a pleasure doing those for you John. I'm actually very proud of every single kits that I've done for members who've got a kit from me. Unlike other (sellers) on the Internet these days, I am not shy to snap high resolution close-up pictures of the product. What you see is what you get.
I admit it was hard to let those go tho. But soon enough I'll clone the color & kit and place them on our shelf at the circuit right next to the other stuff we do there. Along with a picture of your car having those installed of course

Who's got them, post them up!

have followed this thread, they are amazing...well done!
Do they replace both the main bulbs, so this does the main beam and dipped driving light?
Could you PM a price posted to the UK please?

Thanks for the PM Fred.
I have factory Litronics, that I would sell to cover the cost of two clear lensed lights and your kit.
Does the wiring still work, and any issues with levelling sensors/ motors?

No worries! Other PM replied
RE leveling; that would become pretty redundant, if you go for the clear halogen set anyway. Conn-wise, you simply need to tap into the low & high beams' 12 volts circuit for the kit to shine. Litronic or not.
Side note.... someone is currently retrofitting his 996TT's headlights (already litronic and different style of headlight I believe) with a set of my CGT style projectors. He said that it is very doable. I've never seen the litronic housing myself but it appears that you can convert the litronic unit as much as the halogen. Again, I am not entirely sure not having seen them myself.
Minor problem:
I only have the LHD cutoff bi-xenon projectors available atm. My mate in Japan got all the RHD projectors that I could source from my supplier here, 14kits (28 projectors). All gone.
I will receive more RHD in about one week. Some are waiting for those :/ arrggg
Will PM as soon as I get them
