Porsche Headlight Retrofit [from CAD, prototyping to finish)

[JeffBorn]

Morning Nine8Six and ParticleWave
Just purchased my 99 986 with heavily burned internal lenses. Actually has 2 different color temp lamps and prob higher wattage than stock 35. First Mod after returns from shop for valve cover gaskets and IMS, etc will be your projector set up. Setting up my paypal account to move forward with purchase. The thread is super long and has taken me about 3hrs to figure out what all is going on. I think have a handle and possibly blue anodized with blue halos is a good option for my zenith blue 986. Do you have a website for ordering? Or what might I need to let you know in order to place an order? Will I need any custom shrouds or additional gear besides my stock headlight assemblies? Thanks in advance and a really great job creating a terrific product. Thanks

Salut Herve! Nah as much as I anticipated, I can't run away in March but will 100% for sure end of July. My wife is going in for the whole 3rd week of March if you don't mind dropping by Papineau/Maisonneuve street for pick-up. She was a member of the China Olympic/National Swimming Team 12 years ago and haven't changed a tad... can I trust you?! I'd much rather shipping if you don't mind LOL

Hey Jeff - Martin is spot on and got you covered. If you have any other questions get in touch anytime. For info the kit is pretty standard-fit for the 986, all that needs custom selection from you is colors really. Apologies for the long thread and scattered info.... not entirely my fault loll Congrats on your new 986 roadster btw

Just a quick note that all of the orders I've received from you good fellas is being taken care at highest level. 3 weeks waiting period now so if any of you guys think of grabbing a set, think about the lead time (forget what the website says... i.e 5-7day turnover). That's a scam now lollll Temporarily anyway (I'm unusually overloaded atm)

We got 48hrs left before this shuts down Fancy and creative laser work accepted!









^ On the workbench atm. Some Blue w/blue AE, Orange w/amber AE, Black w/amber, Corvette kit for Chris, I pass 7 other kits lollll... Some of you may recognize their kit - I'm aiming to ship those to you guys this coming weekend (yummy stuff comin your way)

Cabintrophobic - awful weather here too... I need a topless drive bad lolll

[Nine8Six]

When this hits 00:00 (Shanghai time), all goes down at my end. Guess this was all sufficient notice guys. Did my best!

00:00 edit, removed the JS counter... that thing started to spin counter clockwise. Odd.... felt like going back in time lol

Hey Fred, is that you in your avatar or Simon Cowell?

If the latter, why?

Thanks Fred, just got in under the wire with my order!

I'm curious as to what your next project will be:
A cupholder that actually works, and mounts to the seat frame and retracts under the seat when not in use?
Maybe a fusion of the 987 airbox with the 986 MAF holder for those trying to up the intake air volume, made of a durable and thermally insulating plastic with just enough deformation to allow installation without bending any sheet metal tabs in the engine bay.
Or a titanium replacement bolt package for all the unsprung elements of the suspension, to increase strenght and decrease mass.
Or perhaps a replacement for the no-longer available Byrd/Bird center armrest extension, this time with built-in iPod/USB/cigarette lighter outlets, and a switch for the Skybreaker?
How about a deep base subwoofer for the trunk, that is ported to the cabin?
A better LED tail light?
Spark plug tubes that don't crack and don't conduct electricity.
A lightweight track trailer that can haul 4 tires OR a motorcycle to the track?
A mod that replaces the headlight corner triangle with bottle rocket launch tubes?
Or whatever strikes your fancy!

( between the GTprojectors and the Skybreaker, a standard has been set for ingenious product development that leaves us hungry for more!)
Actually, given that you have a REAL job also, I suspect a vacation may be in order once the current backlog is cleared...

[Nine8Six]

Haha, wow I admit those are all great ideas. You forgot the killer CGT style exhaust tip and a remote activated exhaust valve Could be a nice little kit for those, like myself, who occasionally feels like making noise. I have tons of ideas believe me, just too bad there are only 24hrs in a day mate

Vacation in July, a full last 3 weeks of it!

Glad I'm not the only one that thought that. LOL

[itsnotanova]

Is it possible to set the projector farther back in the headlight?

Papineau/Maisonneuve ... a few blocks from my condo, it could be done.
And for your peace of mind, I could send my wife lol. They would probably chatter about how guys spend way too much on their damn sports cars

With understanding how to spec out some of that "fancy and creative laser work" on the web site - please see PM. Thanks

Hey Jeff, got your PM.... no prob on the custom laser work. You don't need to upload visual, we can discuss this in private and exchange draft/visuals of what you want until you sign-off on the laser work.

Also, ignore the +$15 for the custom laser work request on that GTP site... that is another scam I'm running LOL. Most chaps just don't use the upload feature but use the type-in comment box to request their custom laser work Smart!
