Had friends over yesterday helping me out with some other production. I am "2.5 weeks late" in everything and finally admitting I need some help loll Thank god for good friends (i.e. the type that shows up when you are in trouble)

Going offline until this coming Sunday. I'll be dead quiet but won't be far

Andy took this shot out of his mobby cam y'day eve... just got it FW to me. Horrible quality but I like it. Let's see some of yours when you have the kit installed!



My boxster car has its Winter Mood colors turned ON atm! Heard you guys on the east coast are being hit bad weather-wise. Keep safe there all

Partway through installation

It's 41*F here, so just lowering the (plastic window) top was a bit scary. I haven't hooked up the wiring yet; more comfortable working conditions will be conducive to creativity.

Fred, the product oozes quality and looks fantastic in person, and yes, it's going to be a bit of a bear to photograph. Give me a little time and warmer temps, and I'll see what I can do. I did take a couple unboxing and assembly pics, but not very many. Thanks again; your work is amazing.

Don't you want that flipped around so it can be read correctly from the rear of the car? At least that is the way Fred photographed it in his posts. Just wondering

Perhaps you should look at the image again.

You got some wicked vision/brain activity going on there my man. People like you are hired by intel & law enforcement agencies. Just saying

You got fooled by the position of the M3 screws. I've assembled Kevin's kit the other way around.... screws should face the car interior. Not that it matters but should be that way (a new rule lol). Easy flip around... keep for when you want to chg the LED for the other color (if you ever have too)

Kevin, stunning shot thanks man. High tech looking stuff... so far I think your WD is the best looking wind deflector in-the-world

My bad, it must be all the sunshine in California affecting my brain

Got my kit Fred thanks, will install next week after my return from my trip on the PCH (had to rub that in). There are a lot of things to hate about California but there are definitely a lot of things to LOVE in California.

Know what you mean about the LOVE! Brother in law is located in Santa Barbara Ynez side (event management$). We used to visit yearly, spending holidays but not too often anymore. The depression you get leaving this area to come back to Shanghai is (in one word) "brutal". Takes you about 3 months to recover mentally :/

Beside having to cut through smog to find my office door every morning, I also get to live up California daily with small imports
