I disagree. It would have been lost in the off topic section, it was important enough to be posted where everyone was sure to see it. Now if you start posting pictures of your dogs balancing bones on their noses...

Glad that JJ is home, hopfully all be well

[amitmishra4]

That's a bit of a relief - I am sure a lot of your friends on here were holding their breath, me included, waiting for some good news. JJ is part of your family and I am sure I speak for everyone on here when I say that he is in our prayers.

[kjc2050]

Wow. What a relief, Fred; from your description, I was pretty worried. Hope JJ recovers fully with no lasting effects. Daisy says hello and best wishes to JJ...

Great news that JJ is doing well and at home. He does seem to some odd thing hanging out of his mouth.... perhaps some new Rottie upgrade you've devised.

Looks good, exact same one I ordered. Is this the original skybreaker or the new best in the world version?

Let's see - started at the headlights, moved mid car to the wind deflector. Next stop - LED lights for the spoiler - or a fix to the mysterious single rear fog light......

J's tha man, never gonna be the same. He tasted what near death feels like for the first time. He's a tough puppy now loll

That was his soft silicon rubber toy in his mouth (helps cooling). He has this fetish at home, carry this thing everywhere he goes for some freakish reason. Dog was doing high fever and not ventilating normally, low energy etc... so.... that cube toy came in handy (for once). We went shooting arrows together at the pro-club this Sunday afternoon - he stayed there at my side alerted & scanning all of that 2hrs.... I think we looked pretty cool loll

Note to all, if you want to get your puppy to settle down in a flash, feed him industrial grade insecticides. Werks

ps. tracking # are inputted in the system. Gtp sends out an email automat when updated but I'll make dbl sure you get it and send a separate note mate... look up for spam lollll

pps: 21 are gone already, 47 more to shoot out of there. Nasty stuff...

[BFeller]

Yes, very good to hear JJ is doing well. Even better to hear that he is out and about with you.

As I eagerly await the arrival of my Etched LED Edgelight Wind Deflector, I thought I would attempt to remove the old one to make sure I knew had to do that before it arrived...

It seemed easy enough - two small clips and voila... However, the clips are a bit confusing. Do they get pulled up to release or pulled toward the back?

I gave it a whirl this morning - attempting to gently pull toward the back - and the darn thing snapped off...

Can someone please explain how those clips work (and in addition, how one can replace a broken one).. Pictures or a video would be very much appreciated...

[BruceH]

You lift on the clip slightly, and then push the windstop towards the back of the car. Yes, the whole clip mechanism is cheaply made. I just replaced one of the holders attached to the roll bar. The plastic breaks easily, especially with age. Here are links to replacement parts.

Rubber bullet proof mate, rubber

Yea those coated ones are indeed good. Easy install, miniature everything, comes with stylish precision CNC etc etc. They are just a little illegal

Cool kit, worth the wait I promise.

You guys with the RED leds, go easy on the brightness and all should be fine 'safety-wise'. Also, careful it is a head turner especially during the Saturday night in traffic. Nearly everyone stare at mine big time, taking pics with the mobby and all :/ Slowing down the traffic even more loll

[amagalla]

I started the install process of the wind stop.



I just need to wire it up now. I can say that the lower Boxster S logo does not get in the way of the rear view at all. Fantastic.

Glad to hear JJ is doing better. Thanks Fred.

The wife and kid are at the in laws for a couple days so daddy got to play with his toys for a little. Installed new LED side markers and the wind breaker finally,wired it to the ash tray light:



I should add, the entire install including wiring took no more than 30 mins, probably less actually, I even drilled a channel in the trim to route the wire through. The only thing I had some trouble with was taking the existing piece off without snapping the latches, I was pulling upwards instead of back of course.

Thanks Fred!
