Porsche Headlight Retrofit [from CAD, prototyping to finish)

[jakeru]

I'm actually kind of excited these may be available without the angel eyes. Fred, if not a hassle, can I see a mock up of what your newer Vivo style would look like without the angel eye holes?

I'm most interested in a silver, which would pay homeage to the period-correct, factory litronic highly reflective chrome finished look. (Maybe polished aluminum with clear anodize on all the visible pieces, if you can do that?)

(Really beautiful design and machine work, by the way!)

Follow-up question: do BruceH's and CraigM's projectors have a silver rear sleeve, or black?

Jake, not a hassle at all bud. I'll get those rendered and published here for us to see and judge what's the best way forward. The VIVO will look amazing without the holes, kinda tactical looking (i.e. serious look).

Let's see, give me a few days for those to come out

Mine is the stock silver, no black.

Cool - thanks Fred!

Thanks Bruce! Yours is really helpful for me because it basically demonstrates the highly reflective, litronic-like look I'd like to get, and it's also a lapis blue Boxster, like my '01. . So to also get this look, I think I'm also going to get those base pieces in silver.

It's also helpful to visualize what look I'd get if I deambered. So far I'm leaning towards taking my Boxster-fried eggs with a little yolk... maybe leaving the amber full-blown in the lower area of the headlights, as homepage to the awesome and timeless original Boxster prototype style, or maybe doing the '03-'04 style (factory litronic style) "small bit of amber behind the clear turn signal" look.

:chicken:

Will do soon. Let me re-design this, cancel all of that useless angel eyes work, and get them back to fail-proof stage II.

I'll need to scrap all of those renderings also LOL (ouch)

Killed the thousand holes and replaced with sexy. Vivo Series - Titanium Edition. Super cheap $1,200/kit

(bored) They chopped the building electricity for the entire night so I'm stuck home doing nothing else than sharpening up my headlight design 'disabilities' Seriously though, I do have access to this commercially pure titanium grade for ridiculously cheap here. The one that gives that semi-faded-gold effect! Tempted to get a series out in this material, comments?!

Bye bye angel eyes! We obviously have many other ways to get those to live up to the brand, that's one of them

Finally got around to finishing mine, after about two years
