I assume you mean me. My headlights came directly from Fred (Nine8six) on this thread and they were installed by Charles (Particlewave). I hope that helps

Hey Fred, saw your note elsewhere you were going to make another batch of HID projectors, and in case quantities are limited, wanted to get a place in line for a pair.

I'm not sure if I like the "holes" look of the new Vivo rendering, as it's still hard to visualize what it would look like on the the car. Best way for me to compare aesthetic options are side by side comparison. I also don't know what effect it might have on cost - sounds like it might be challenging to machine (which I'm sure you're up for, as it's clear you've got mad CNC skill), so maybe just a basic plain Vivo (in all clear anodized parts) is the way I'd go, if it would help keep work on your end, and cost down. Although you also seem like a guy who enjoys a challenge, and maybe would want to do it even without charging much extra. In that case, I'll guinea pig a pair.

Honestly, anything will be a huge aesthetic improvement over the burned inner reflectors I've got going on right now. I'm holding off on removing the inner lenticular lens to see if I can get in on your next batch of projectors.

Thanks again!

Hey Fred,

I'm newer here, but would like to get on the list for your next run. I love the look of them, and the build quality, but more to the point.... ahem.... I'm getting older and the extra light at night certainly wouldn't hurt.

I've read through this entire thread (spoiler alert: it's long), and couldn't find pictures of all of the different designs you've made in one place. Is there a list of all of the current designs, and pricing? Thanks in advance.

Adam

The importance of having "processing" power in tomorrow's vehicles

Looks like we need to start R&D on the MKIII tech and call this ProschaVision. These folks at bmw are going faster than I can keep up with lollll

Any plans to make the 4-LED style projectors from new Porsches? Now that's something I'd buy.

Ebay already sell them but they're ENORMOUS and won't fit in our lenses.



If you could make something like that, it would be stunning.

I have seen so many custom projects for one off parts on cars and bikes over the past 40 years that I cannot count them all. I have to say that this rivals nearly anything I have witnessed for high quality workmanship, attention to detail, quality materials, finish, symmetry, integration. It looks better than any upgrade any factory has offered. We are lucky to have your talents available to other Boxster owners. You are one of few who have found a way to make an incredible car even better. Thank you.

Received fellas, on the list

Got caught up with work during the last two weeks, had to fly out of the country twice to firefight some issues HQ needed cleaned-up (success). That's right, my other profession is "Janitor" :/

Was at the shop all of last weekend and got at least 80 shrouds on the table. Progressing but not as fast as I would want this to go. My apologies to all. As all things here... we'll get it done that's no worries!
