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!

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!

New top with glass installed this week. Leather installed on a cpl of spots that had lost the cheap plastic wood grain in the interior. Passenger seat in garage awaiting renewal with leather reconditioning kit from leatherworldtech.com. Next, the driver seat and some spots on the doors for reconditioning. So when I finish this work, and shampooing carpet, what better way to make it look whole than the sky breaker. Signed up for the email alert on the website and can't wait. I love the DIY section of this site. I'll try to post before and after pics of the seats when I finish.
By the way, mine is 2001 arctic silver with 92k miles, base model. I'm a 64 yr old retired geezer with a new hobby!!!!!!

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

Done deal. I'll get that shipped to you this coming Monday or latest Tuesday. Pay later mate, gives me a chance to harass you too lollll
Same price Tony $155. I think I get those out cheaper for those who've purchased a projector kit from either me or Pelican (20% off). Got to be grateful sometimes
