Thank you. Got a used frame with the two plastic locks, and ordered brackets on eBay. Have not found installation description for 986 (only for 987).
Does anyone have a link or description how to install? Are the holes there under the leather lining? Do you need some special drills?

Updated picture of my Red Sox windscreen... I had originally installed it so it matched the way the logo is displayed on merchanside when viewing from the front of the car. After some feedback (two of my kids who said it looked backwards, and they aren't even baseball fans) as well as a general inquiry from the creator of this awsome unit as well, I decided to switch it around... I simply had to remove it from the car, remove it from the bracket, switch it around and then reinstall it.

Here's how it looks now:

Where is the potato plate?

In the mail on the 13th and still no tracking info on the number I was given. I guess Im still within the standard shipping time but hurry up and wait :(

Sending you an email right away, surprised you haven't received it :/ That SkyBreaker is in the mail and on its way!!

Good enough to let us see that this SkyBreaker thingy should have come as-is from factory. I'll talk to the company :o and force them to get this standard accessory for the upcoming production roadsters.

:cheers:

Gosh Darnit. I decided to check my tracking number. The US Post Office tried to deliver mine nearly 3 weeks ago. They said a note was placed on the door. Of course, since they constantly deliver to the wrong houses in my neighborhood (swapping mail is how all the neighbors meet) I don't have the slip. Guess where I will be tomorrow in the morning? Picking up my SkyBreaker!

Sweet - Picked up my kit from the Post Office.

lolllll sounds like the little Chinese 'hood I'm having the pleasure to live in.

Glad its sorted brother

:cheers:

ps. 104degree here today, no clouds, no wind. Hell-on-earth, literally... been like that for about ten days now and likely to last a few more weeks. I want my boxster back :/

Hope you guys all okay on your sides there

Never got your email. Did not arrive in the mail today, I think its now officially past due. Tracking on gtprojectors says, "The Postal Service could not locate the tracking information for your request." Maybe it got hung up in customs but without tracking info theres no way to know. Do you have access to tracking info I dont? BTW also havent received the Violet LED. Your estimate of 5-7 days arrival would have been early this last week. I also never got instructions on how you wanted it paid for. No worries Fred, great product at a great price, just letting you know the situation...

Skybreaker
 

Fred,

Skybreaker not here yet and tracking number not correct according to the usps. Could you check for me too.

Thanks, Larry

Installed - not wired - running on a 9 volt battery. First pictures with Speed Humps?

are there any plans for making this for the 2015 boxster?

Gt projectors
 

Fred,

Also backtracking thru the gt website about the tracking # and overdue delivery. Don't know how involved you are with the gt company but if you can exert some influence with them to at least respond to my inquiry, it would be a bit reassuring.

Thanks, Larry

Just for you, buddy! :D

Skybreaker
 

Well it's now almost a month since Skybreaker was shipped and still hasn't arrived. Still have no tracking number to find out where it might be cuz the two tracking numbers provided by the gt projectors website don't work. Attempts to contact gt projectors via their website have only been met with silence.

Fred or anyone else, can you help? Don't know what else to do? Anyone else experiencing same issue?

Thanks, Larry

My tracking number is now finally showing something, I ordered on 4 July and I got shipping info about a week later. This last Wensday tracking said China mail has released it and then Friday the US Postal service updated it to say they've received notification of a shipment. So I'm still in hurry up and wait mode but I suppose its progress.

Omg, thanks for your reply. My tracking number is finally working too. Item was processed thru California and is in us customs. Finally, some information and light at the end of the tunnel. I actually ordered my Skybreaker back in May and was one of the people who signed up to be notified by the gt projectors website in April. It's been 4 months since I started trying to acquire one.

Larry

That China Post can be a real bugger sometimes.

After six weeks I finally took delivery. Sadly my complementary extra LED color was not included (I ordered Amber installed and Cool White as the extra). Ive also not heard back from Fred on the Violet he said he would hook us up with for $8 so for now the only pics I can provide is the Amber. I was super careful installing with just my hands (it goes in much easier than the old one came out) but I appear to have a nice scratch above the C that is only obvious when the panel is lit so I didnt noticed it till it was installed in the car. Despite the complications of my experience this really is a nice upgrade and well worth the price. An interesting side effect is this new wind deflector really makes the missing roll bar deflectors that much more obvious (to me anyway). Appears I now need to suck it up and get the passenger side as I already have a brand new drivers side that came with the car and has never been installed. Ill get some dusk shots soon but here are some daytime garage shots for now...

Hey Fred!
 

Is there any way to track my order? It's been a couple of months and the tracking no. on the website doesn't work.

Never mind Fred
 

I guess I should have read down a little further.. It seems everyone has the same waiting game so I'lll just patiently sit here twiddling.

The tracking numbers don't go 'live' in the USPS until they receive the package into their system from the Chinese side.

Anybody make contact with Fred lately? I've sent him 3 PMs with no answer.

He's undergoing a major overhaul at his facilities and swamped with the day job, so he may not be around until the end of the month. :o

Glad to know he's all right.

My saga was similar to a bunch of you. No indication that the tracking number would not go live until the item hits the us. That left me in limbo for almost a month, the amount of time the item stayed in China before hitting the us shores. The item was delivered in less than a week from the time the tracking number went live. Be patient, it's worth the wait. A little more communication would have been helpful. I tried Fred several times over three weeks without reply. I surmise that Fred and the gt projectors company are one and the same now since I tried their contact process repeatedly without any luck also.

Hope all is well with him.

Larry

Fred did post this once the packages were at the the Chinese Post Office:

"SkyBreaker all gone, well nearly, 4 left to go. Unbelievable

We got caught by the post office. Max outbound daily is 5pcs and they stood by their rule all the way. Local post office is cheap, well compared to the private carriers. If they wouldn't have these rules in place everyone would use their service and they'd end up as busy as the McDonald right next door.

So that's the treatment they offer to little nobody like myself who ship without a legit business registration :/

Updated the site with all of your tracking No. And I am not going to do nor ship out a massive group-buy for anything "Best in the World" anymore - I think lollll"

Since Fred is still MIA I'm hoping someone will be more familiar with this thread than I. Is it ok to use the heavy scratch remover from the Novus kit? Think I read the latest version of this skybreaker had a coating and don't want to screw up my brand new wb but I want to see what I can do about some imperfections.

I tried working this with Fred, but as he seems to be indisposed at the moment, I'll try to work it here. Did anyone order a hardened windscreen that simply said "Boxster" and get one with the shield and P O R S C H E lettering on it? I ordered the shield and P O R S C H E and got "Boxster". I'd like to arrange a prisoner exchange if you are interested.

Just got mine!
 

Craftsmanship par excellence

Roll bar clips
 

Where do the clips to hold the windscreen between the roll bars go? I got the clips from Pelican but no instructions

Are these still available to purchase?

Good luck.

You could try contacting Fred through his website, but he has been AWOL for a few months.

Anyone ever watched the show "Locked Up Abroad"? If not then get to it cuz I may feature in one of those episode soon. I'm just back from Thailand where I was supposed to stay 6 days - and 13 weeks later.

Warning to all: Do NOT get 'physical' when you'll encounter a pedophile - if this ever happens to you. Does not come cheap ((that's right, read correct, I lost it)). I even had to pay for his medical bills, two lawyers, and other things.... won't go in details here.

Not my fault (entirely anyway). I'll explain when things have settle at my end here.. I literally arrived back in SH 2 days ago

ps: oh and special thanks to Andy for (not) posting what I've asked him to post more than a month ago :/

Good to see you're still among the living, Fred. Sounds like you have a hell of a story!!!

J - PM me a phone number and good time/date to call in. I owe you an explanation

I'll soon be writing a book (well... a booklet). Lost 10 kilos and the rights to obtain a (any purposes) visa for Thailand permanently. Banned for life :/

Lesson learnt. Anyone witnessing a crime... look away, call the cops, do anything else other than getting involved. As sick as this may sound in some cases, take my advice
