Porsche Headlight Retrofit [from CAD, prototyping to finish)

[BRAN]

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

Fred,

Could you render these views with tourismos to compare.....?

It's tight in there.

Photoshop concept:



I don't have the sweet machining equipment that Fred has, so I had to settle.

Charles - those look sweet! I would love to see these in operation.

Jay mate, not in an ideal position to toast those for you right away but will get them done. I'll get the 3 series lined up, not in Iguana green however. That green rendering belongs to a member here btw (sent you his youtube channel by pm)

RE dual-projectors. If one day I feel that there is a strong demand for dual-projectors I might consider throwing the required R&D and time into this. Atm you are the second guy who asked for this. And as you've already guessed, it would indeed need a serious redesign of the stock headlight. The Bi-Xenon Projectors you see now are designed with an emphasis on simplicity and really, that what works for the majority. Effective, safe, lightweight, easy-to-install, what else... ah yes; reasonably priced (important).

ps: if you want a guesstimate for a quality & functional quad-xenon, by all means feel free to PM - I'll make those for you with passion. However something tells me you'll change your mind as fast as your idea came up +$$+

Very much appreciated, the view helped a lot! I like your 986 render design lines perhaps just as much as the real shape...very tastefully done!

Yes I do like to push the envelope a bit.... as you know. Thanks for the thoughts and info!

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

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.

The body lines are an exact copy (stencil) of the factory boxster 97-04 (bird view, profiles, front/rear). The visual difference you see is the perspective mode the render software has... which I'm not yet comfortable using. Kinda slightly bubble the car (fisheye-lense effect) when rendered at close distance.

Bah... gives a good idea, close enough some would agree

While the kids are outdoor playing their favorite trampoline, some kools are setting the city on fire everywhere and parents are indoor with friends and families celebrating & eating like there-is-no-tomorrow! Everybody couldn't care less about their problems! Brilliant festival - thanks hosts

Hello Nine8six

Happy Chinese New Year. I want to retrofit my halogen headlights with your projectors but just can't justify the price difference. In comparaison with the retrofit kits on ebay for example

Are you willing to drop your price? {?!}

Are you serious?
Have you read this thread and understand the difference between Fred's projectors and the others?

Nice first post. Maybe an intro would be nice :troll:

Stuck in a longer than expected family dinner but plan on helping Boxsterrada as soon as I get home... on a faster typing device. Those kind of intro are tto be expected, I agree with the little monster lollll

What are the real justifications is hard to say without offending others vendors but I'll give it my best shot still debating if I should.. we'll see

[JayG]

Your product speaks for itself
That and 30 pages of posts

[geraintthomas]

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?
