This thing is f n hot. Beyond me that some goes plastic bezels on their beloved Porsche. Couldn't care less about your Honda civic tought, in fact it could be quite cool to see it burn in a downtown somewhere lollll
@oldskool73 - I know I've screwed you up when I crashed my shoulder and couldn't fullfil the order of your projectors. Sorry again man. I just can't let you go that route and to make dead sure you won't, I'll give you the first set that comes out of the next batch for FREE (just pay shipping brother). Wait, return whatever you've ordered man
(sorry for the rant btw, had to be done)

Wow, amazing offer there @Nine8Six, I'd be crazy not to take you up on it.
Won't be able to return what I bought as I've already chopped into the shrouds to make them fit, but that's life.
Guess my project's on hold again for a while... Let me know when you're ready to roll again then. Thanks!

So let's do that then! On record! I'll have a few kits ready by spring but yours are getting out of here before any others. I'll see if I can quickly anodize a kit right after I'm done with a few things here, no promises yet - give me 2~3 weeks
Sorry to hear about your other kit bro, make a crocodile night-hunting xenon flashlight with it, dunno

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

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.. IŽd really like to be on the list for the upcoming batch if possible!

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

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??

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

Its official...
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!
