Got you all guys in now, for sure I'll make aware before but putting down your e is the best way I have to make sure I'm not missing anyone. Thx for helping btw


On another IMPORTANT note. Friend here in SH damaged his window with his wrist watch y'day eve. The latching thingy on his watch was rubbed onto the glass a few too many times. Happened while installing the window inside his bracket. He admitted being careless but that didn't necessarily help making the morning coffee taste a bit better :/ Just heard a few min ago

Careful with the glass. What is considered a large scratch is unlikely to show during poweroff - quite similar to our oem Porsche window. However when "illuminated" you'll possibly see this scratch quite clearly (a fact; pmma is clearer than glass... light travels easy lol). Although it is possible and effortless to polish those acrylic windows back to brand new, it will NOT be possible for a 'wrist watch' heavy scratch to buff out without great efforts lol

He sort of rescued his with PlastX apparently... but it nearly took an hour. Offered to make another glass at no cost, feeling responsible for not having warned him.

Please be careful. It real easy - just treat as jewelry until it's mounted there on your Boxster and that will do just fine.

ps. a replacement glass & etch job will run at $30 + shipping. We are looking at a grand $60-worthty-scratch from the usa side if anything uncool happen to our not-so-cheap(after all) SkyBreaker. Fear imposed hehehe

You raise an interesting point, would it be possible to order an extrs glass and etch at original kit ordering?

Sure can. Also, info ahead of time possibly, but I also have smoked/tinted windows here and those fancy fluorescent acrylic glasses as well (green and orange atm only). Thinking about offering a whole range of oem replacement windows - with or without the LED Illumination or with or without etch design! $7,855 each of course...

Still experiencing with those (having fun!). Not that I would imagine anybody going for an 'orange' wind deflector but sure looks pretty cool loll Again (pls don't flame me) it's just fun options for some out there.... in case someone have this crazy modded Boxster somewhere... wants a wind deflector nobody has lollll

Clear fluo green anyone?





LOLLL

Hi Nine86,

I have been following posts etc on this Forum for around a year now on and off but didn't join until today.

I've had the same model Porsche as you for the last year and absolutely love the little lady!

I have been toying with the idea of purchasing a wind deflector from Porsche here in Melbourne Australia now for sometime, but have been put off by the last person I spoke to suggesting that driving with a wind deflector installed makes more turbulence than without one. And said he actually had a few hats blown off because of it LOL.

Anyway, I don't care, after seeing what you have created Nine, I so want one. Devastated that you are out of stock :ah:

Anyway I just registered to be informed when you have more on that link you provided at The ultimate bi-xenon headlight retrofit kit for Sport & Super cars

My 986 is Maroon and was thinking a violet illumination would look amazing. Here in Australia we're not allowed any kind of illumination on cars that is red (except for brakes) or blue those colours are reserved for Police and emergency vehicles. At least that's what I have been informed.

Anyway mate. I have to say from go to woe I have been so very impressed with your absolute brilliance and dedication to this DIY project, I hope you make a bundle out of it mate, you MOST certainly deserve it. And thank you for making the price affordable to us that don't have a lot to spend and the exchange rate is so bad LOL.

Hope to get notification soon that you have more in stock. Take care 986 and thank again!
John
