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

Very nice looking Fred, I love that design! I still love the look of mine although sadly, I had to disconnect my angel eyes due to failure on the right side the other day I think discontinuing the LED's is the right move, but the aesthetic of the machined holes is still incredible

[Nine8Six]

Thx Captain. Yes those CGT style projectors are the best, period. Not a debate. However heard more than once that there is a need for other styles. Not sure what that means lolll

I quit the angel eyes but won't quit optimizing those shapes and features. Let me know what you guys want/need and I'll snap my fingers

I would be interested in a set if you have any spare capacity in the coming weeks? You've scared me into changing my ebay plastic ones.

Rich - I'll start on those headlights as soon as I am done with those sweet center caps. I plan on getting them ready to ship before spring kicks in. Some need re-design (simplified) so this will take a little while. Also want to give that Vivo a special look, if only that supplier of that micro black mesh could lower his $300/sheet price down to let's say $50 I'd take a few :/

Re machined holes; I agree with Bruce that they bring in some additional bling but in all honesty, that is not what makes those projectors standout. The car's front-end as a whole is what bling, holes or not. Keep this in mind

Here some Turismo Series without the machined holes. As you can see, these cars still look & feel modernized. Speaking loud and clear here I think!

Ok, here we go.. My first ever post in the 986-forum.. I have been following this thread from the very beginning and as a "headlight junkie" I am amazed of these CGT-style projectors and how they really enhance the front of the 986. As shown in my Picture I really need to do something about my halogens.. I´d really like to be on the list for the upcoming batch if possible!

are the old/previous one's all sold out everywhere? I can't stand my halogens...i need someone to convert mine

Welcome to the forum Robert. Wonderful first post, got to light up with style indeed

Looking at getting a few kits by the end of March, hopefully in hands (on your side) before spring kicks-in. Got 12 fellas on the waiting list but plan on making a few extra to supply until summer I'll update the thread in a few weeks

[auBoxster]

I'm another from down under who'd like to be on the list for these lights - I assume the details for installing are provided or is it somewhere back in the 70+ pages of this thread??

[Nine8Six]

Cool, received! Thanks for letting me know

Got a new 4K ciine cam (GH4+speedbooster) I'll see if I can get an headlight retroft in HD. I'll post on youtube for all to see how easy it is Other than that, yes I still got the Installation manual if required. I'll link up soon

[StrangerDJ]

And one more to add.

PMed as well

[SvenskaPoika]

I'll also take a set for my 98 986.

[KRAM36]

Fred do you have your website up for these lights? Have some people wanting to know how to get them. Thanks!

I have lost my dang mind.

I read all 73 pages of this post.

In one sitting.

And I don't even own a Porsche. Don't even really want one.

About halfway through I had to check my history to find out how I even found my way down this rabbit hole LOL

Such beautiful machine work...

That is all - good day!

You'd want one after you've driven one... lol

At least they're giving credit where credit is due.

I have no doubt that I'd want one. They are good looking little cars.
Maybe I did a search for one in my area, and maybe I found out used can be had pretty reasonably.

I have some other priorities ahead of a Porsche, but who knows, I might be back one day as an owner.

I bet it'd make me look 10 years younger

It will make you feel 10 years younger, you know where to get killer headlight upgrades already, and you can kibitz about your oil, IMS, headlight switch, tires, jugged versus bagged milk, (not cats though) with the rest of the forum. That puts you one step ahead of the game as soon as you start!

PM sent. These are awesome.

This is amazing - how can I get a kit for my 99?
