BTW...ordered my deflector today. Unfortunately, the car is in outside storage so the install will have to wait a few months.
Look forward to see what others order.

Thanks and Happy New Year Fred and everyone else on this wonderful forum!!!
Ordered mine in cold white with the Red LED's as a backup(very nice touch). I think the problem most people will have is deciding on that color, most already know what they want etched.
Can't wait to receive it and show it off!!

Order Update
Monday morning here, apologies for not sending individual updates - tough it would be okay if I just update here
Took those two shots yesterday eve right after I've finished putting your kit electronics together. LED strips and PWM controllers tested and now secured with your packing slip.
Also managed to get a half sheet of pmma sliced on the large laser table in 225*500mm panel sizes. Those are now ready to be cut to spec and etched with your designs into the smaller 4060 tabletop CO2 laser. I plan on getting this done during the evenings of this week. Off to my post office during the weekend... well that's the plan anyway (if no earthquake in between lol)
ps. tell your friends there is only 4 (four) kits left for grab :/ HUGE thanks for the support btw!

Hi Fred,
Happy New Year to you & your family.
Just a quick question on the design - I saw you have the "986" and you have the "S". Can you combine them into a "986 S"
Thanks
Don

Any idea what LEDs these are? I'm still working on the dual LED idea on my side.

Tony
The LED strip I am using is 5mm (width) * 190mm (length). Any brands will do if they come in those size.
Below is a visual of where they sit (highlighted in blue). That is 4mm wide and I have to mill a 1mm deep pocket inside both blades to acheive that perfect fit. Bear in mind, the OEM deflector window is 4mm thick. I admit you have a great idea but it's not going to be easy - if you are to stick to OEM size anyway (i.e. reuse your porsche bracket).
EDIT: Tony, just an idea.... make your own custom PCB with some 3025 dual-color leds. Doesn't have to be a "flexible" strip of LED specifically. That would work mate. Talk to Charles for schematics if you aren't too electronic minded... he does that when he sleeps this guy

I'm looking for a dual color 3025 ribbon strip and plan on replacing the second color with 3025 red LEDs, I think this will be the cheapest way to go.

Only when you get those in hands, let me know and we'll check clearances together. Happy to modify the set-up of the glass cut to accommodate those for you - if needed. Let's have a look first

Also had difficulties finding pre-fabricated UV strips in those miniature sizes. I NEED to find this thing soon...
And once I do I'll offer retrofit options $8 shipped - into an letter size envelope by snail mail
got them in a 8mm format only here... it's insane. Need them to fit "Porsche" lollll

Well, I found the LED I need to do the dual color:
Red/White LED
Now I need a 5mm wide pcb that will support them. Where do I get that? Any help?
