Nice work and my vote is still for a simple clean Porsche crest with no Porsche lettering.........I know it is a Porsche !

Just thought I'd check on the progress, Nine8six. Okay actually I didn't want this thread to get bumped from the main page.
Good luck

You rushin' ?!
Nx time you do this I book you on a flight from CA to SH so you can come over to give me a hand for a full week. Rice, or noodles on me
Update is: this week's parts (projectors, etc) are anodizing today so in between ano runs I've turned on the laser and.... ruined a nice plate of pmma lol
Seriously, I had no choice. And why a HUD? Well that is one of the nastiest visual the laser will see here so that will help to gauge the intensity required for all sort of patterns/lines/thickness/width etc. You got it all in this HUD. We are getting as narrow as 0.2mm precision when 'burning' pmma with a laser.... it's pretty damn impressive in fact. Got 3 other panels to scrap over the weekend for trials, I'll post them up
^That's subtle, no?! LOL
Next: Got a few of those LED modules anodizing as well as other parts atm so I'll have a fully functional (look & feel) prototype during the coming weekend. Well, aiming for that anyway.

A little off topic, but speaking of lasers and HUDs reminded me of one of my former investments that didn't work out well: MVIS
Cool laser projector product, but not the best implementation.
It might be useful to project a HUD from an Android or IOS device to the lower windshield. Lots of good driving apps are available.

Really hard to throw a close-up in HD of what the quality of the graphic is. Sorry about that. LED fuzz the pic as well... photgrx skills lower than mediocre maybe
That badge is slightly bigger than your thumb nail (less than an inch). Looking at it from a normal reading distance (15"), and not magnified x5 lol, it is absolutely impeccable. Love it, we're good on that part

I'm in, just for the noodles alone would get me there. I used to work in SF for a very large Chinese private school and got spoiled with my real white boy introduction to Asian food.
Put down the chopsticks and get back to work, lol

Jeez, I've been away from the forum for 6 months and when I come back more interesting ideas have been put into production.
Very cool Fred.
I had started a thread in 2012 on edge lighting ideas but there did not seem to be much interest.
DIY LED light accents
Perhaps DIY vs Get it done for you was the missing ingredient.
I like the edge lit crest but having other options is great.
I wonder what happened to the clear engine cover and lighting idea? You could have your own Flux Capacitor light show in your engine compartment.

Me too - I'm checking on here daily to see if there's any update! Though I was one of the many that swamped Fred with a headlight order in his last run, so I take some responsibility for the delay.
I still can't decide on which colour backlihght to go with - I have silver with a blue hood - has anyone tried the blue backlight with this combo? Or red backlight? Would love to see pics if so.
Thanks

Nine8Six...congrats on the amazing work. I watched the thread on your projectors and your work is meticulous, great R&D.
I'm very interested in seeing the finished product and maybe getting one if it will ship to Canada!

Thanks! Yea we're good on the Canada shipping that's no worries there.
I'll update soon and hopefully have a fully developed LED Illuminated Wind Deflector kit for Boxster 986 by the end of Nov.
Too slow, I know. Apologies to those who are waiting
