Wow! These deflectors are amazing!
Sorry - first time poster so quick introduction - I found this site when I was looking to buy a Boxster back in June, I bought one in July and have been loving the car since (2003 Boxster S with 45,000 miles, in silver with navy roof and navy interior).

I found this thread while looking for options for light upgrades - what a find! I REALLY want one!
I've registered on the GT series site and am looking forward to hearing that these are back in touch - once they're available how do I let you know what design and colour combo I want?
Has anyone with the same colour combo as mine had one and how does it look? I'm torn between blue and red.

Thanks, and looking forward to getting more into this site

Cheers

Adam

For those of you reading this & on the fence, get off. This is a really fun little update & the quality is excellent - even before the new coating. If Fred is willing to sell more, my advice is to get on the list. I'm definitely looking forward to coming out of hibernation with this update. Thanks Fred.

Without question. This mod is about a 1.5 out of 10 for difficulty of installation and is a 10 of 10 for overall improvement in what it replaces. It really sets the car off.

Looking forward to placing an order for the new tough version. Added it to my wish list on the Gtprojectors website I think the page is down at the moment though.

Wow! I've been away for a week after checking for updates every day, and come back to this great news! Really looking forward to getting mine.

Bruce H - do you have any pics of yours fitted?

Thanks

Great news, I am on your list, with a Arena Red car I am thinking RED light, but am open to colour suggestions.

I've got one of these from the first run and it ROCKS! Use it every day - Got the white light and run it at min in the dark so it just lights up on the freeway on the way to work so the oversized pickups see me at 80 mph. Turned all the way up I can read by it.

Totally agree! Really happy with first version & excited to get the upgraded version. Really nice update to the 986 - recommend highly to those considering it. Thanks Fred!

I'm with the others, I think your product is awesome!!! Will it fit the 987.1 Boxster? I own a 2005 model. Many thanks and best of luck with your ingenious project
