Porsche Headlight Retrofit [from CAD, prototyping to finish)

[jklaspok]

I ordered this: GT-VIVO-BLK VIVO Series GT Projector Headlight Retrofit Kit, Black, from Pelican last week and they canceled because they could not get an ETA. Can you please advise how and when I can purchase the kit? Thanks!

Pelican Parts are not to be blamed in any ways. My (poor) organizational skills are.

I've just recently finished putting up a pretty high tech CNC shop together so to be able to meet and maintain deliveries and supplies. Fully dedicated to the products I manufacture and 100% owned by myself this time (no more queuing!).

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...

Nine8six - I have been in awe of how you developed these and waiting to order a set of these projectors since October when I purchased my car. I plan to send these to Particlewave for the install as he seems to the resident expert on the install.


Which style of your projectors would you recommend for an arctic silver 01 986S? I plan to have the reflectors painted black as well. I really like the red painted projectors with the black painted reflectors, however I dont see that you can order any different color variation then the black or gunmetal colors.

Also, the wheel caps look amazing as well. How would I order a set of these? I have the 18in wheel option that is offered with the sport package. Would the silver/gunmetal color work well with my wheels or I was also thinking the red would look really nice since the calipers are red. I like the rendering you show with the red projectors/black painted reflectors with red wheel caps. This combo looks very sporty and close to the look of the Carrera GT.

thanks for any insight

Thanks, and yes Particlewave installed more than an few of those projectors so I think it’s safe to say that you are in pretty good hands with him!

Given the hints you’ve provided, I must propose the Turismo Series! Classic, and as close as it gets to the unique front-end look of the CGT. In this rendering I’ve intentionally blown up the light on the front-end to spare you from an heart attack when you wake up the next morning (e.g. as red as it will get). Mind you, it does look quite nice(er) in the shades and as you’ve guessed, mental during the evening – no doubts.

Giving you a funky Tokyo night shot here with full reflections as I did to Dwight’s would be ‘sale tactics’ more than a realistic perception of what it could look like Hope we’re all on the same planet here, gents!

Leave this with you. Safest, if you ask, is of course all gunmetal. Let me know if you need to see something different, happy to help (equally helps others in fact)

Reminds me... one of my favorite. How can I forget your car's pic man
(hope you don't mind)


^ real, no no rendering

Couldn't resist to throw in that Artic Silver with the HDR environments. Adv shadows, global illuminations and caustics set to ON. Certainly best viewed full HD (1080), just click on the pic and this will shoot you over to Flickr where you can dwload the 1980*1080 version.

ps. not a sale pitch lolll I've already spoke with our friend 01BOXYS I do these for myself to practice while I have the office's mobile workstation here. Just uploading the ones (I think) are cool looking.

Besides... threads needs visuals, everyone loves visuals, so expect more hehehe
