You will yes. that ecom platform sends out an automated email when stocks gets updated from the backend. Happens instantly. Regardless I'll be sending you guys a separate note a few days before just so you don't get surprised. Will post here also no worries

Can't wait to start working on these I'll be honest. Believe it or not, I want one too... mine literally got 'stolen' from a friend here :/ At least he gave me his near new condition bracket but with an old and scratched up oem window loll Life's harsh sometime....

Starting on these next week actually!

Looks brilliant in blue, that's my decision made!
Thanks Bruce
(and I'm also v. jealous of the iPad install - that's on the list too!)

You are welcome and thanks

The ipad install is actually pretty easy. I bought a used mini to keep the cost down and then picked up a used horseshoe from Oklahoma Foreign. My plan was to practice on it but it was in excellent condition and I didn't make any mistakes. So now I have the original if I or a future owner ever wants to go back to stock. I still love it though! I cant believe the capability it provides. I am thinking of putting one in my truck but I don't think that one will be as easy.

Bruce,
Geezer here and just starting to redo the interior of my 2001. I signed up for the email notification but was wondering about the rough timing of availability. It's an amazing mod and I gotta have it. I'm retired and play a lot of golf but will give up a day of golf to install this baby,that's how excited I am to get this. Just need to plan to have it in place when topless driving starts in earnest.

Thanks, Larry

You will have to PM Fred (Nine8Six), I don't know where he is at with new orders. Once I ordered it came pretty quick and it is a pretty easy install. Well worth it

Pressure pressure pressure! Well the good news is those blades are done already. Last count Andy and I did on them was 180 (e.g. two per kit, meaning we have enough for 90 kits already machined). And I bet we'll never need 90 lolllll we'll see

Coming week is off to the PWM box machining and assembly! And LED strips assembly is goes fast.

May 2015, those SkyBreaker goes wild and in the express mail to you guys. Promise!

Can't wait to add this mod! been on the list for a couple of months!

Don't think I've been this excited since Christmas 1978 lol. Definitely going for design No 1, red with spare white LED.

RossG · 04-20-2015, 11:14 AM

Are there any still available?

Stupid answer sorry.... I'm just a little upset that I've planned on making so many and, from the look of it, we'll run-out again.

Out of 100 professionally coated panels, we have so far:

- 17 reserved for existing Skybreaker owners (those who got the kit back in Jan, prod recall)
- 67 registrations on the GTP site (fella members waiting list). Those are also reserved.

That is something like 84 kits gone right there. Just hope that from those 67 registered fellas a few will change their mind lollll If so then I think we might have something like 20-25 kits left over to play with. Crazy stuff :/

I am seriously thinking about taking my good mate Andy's advise here and manufacturing a few hundreds of those. Andy wants to crack on with 250 units (additional to those 100) and sell them using ecommerce platform like eBay and Amazon. He has been bugging me for this since 2 (two) full months now :/

Andy's vision: "The SkyBreaker should be standard equipment for the Boxster 986" lolllll I am starting to think that he was right all that time. It is a nice little kit after all... light, cheap, way too easy to install, looks good!

We'll see.... tempting. Let's start with what I owe you fellas first. Andy next LOLLL

That Andy is a smart fella. The SkyBreaker is an amazing accessory that all Boxsters should have. Looks beauty on my ride. You could even expand and do ones for the 987's and 981's and really go to town!

Any word on availability for the next round of orders?

Tony - you are harassing me loll they'll be ONLINE and ready for grab in exactly 15 days!!! I'm assembling them atm

But since you've been asking me since MkI I'm happy to send you a kit before anyone else. I kept 5 spare PWM kits from the MKI batch just in case some failed (none did fortunately!). So.... one of those spare kit, with the newly coated window and you should be set for a few summers mate.

I'll do an exception for you and ship one out this coming week if you want. Let me know what design you want and I'll laser this for you bro
