Porsche Wind Deflector with Edge Lighting [from CAD, prototyping to finish]

Count me in! I'd be happy just with version 1 though. I don't personally need the ability to change colors or do the brake light thing, though I can see how others would.

$986 seems appropriate

If I'm reading this correctly. Syncing the lights on the skybreaker to illuminate brighter than normal, at the same time as the 3rd brake light, every time you press on the brakes?

Would take away from the longevity of the lights?

Sounds like a great safety feature though, I'm all for it.

Thanks Gator. Sure thing, I'll get one out for you

Something like that. If I've clearly understood what many requested...
Example:
My SkyBreaker ambient color is that superb porsche amber color and brightness dimmed down (duty cycle of 5%). When I press on the brake the led will automatically glow RED at full brightness (duty-cycle of 100%). When I release the brake this all goes back to that superb porsche amber color and brightness dimmed down (duty cycle of 5%).

25k~50k hours on the led, generally (thermally managed properly). Not sure how many years this makes, too lazy to click the MS Calculator, but I'm sure its a lot.

Counting you in man, thanks!

So if I wanted the SkyBreaker ambient color red, it would just be a dimmed red, and upon pressing the brakes, it would be full brightness red, got it!

Just a thought, what if your car's 3rd brake light is wired for the multi-pulse blinks before staying fully lit? would it effect the SkyBreaker in any way? OR..... what if the SkyBreaker was able to do that too? IDK, just coming up with ideas

We'll end up using a 32bits ST micro or those 10bits atmel avr. Not sure which but either way it will be fully programmable with gpio + a usb port where we'll be able to re-program it to do whatever-we-need-it-to-do (sense, flash, blink, pulse, fade, rainbow this, spectrum that, colors memory, preferred brightness levels, etc etc). Your creativity is the limit really...

Let's see! Might just need to tap the signal, vcc and ground wires from the brake pedal sensor just a few inches under the steering column. If some crazy custom flash is needed elsewhere I don't see any problem, yet, I'll help out with that no worries

Hell yes I can't wait
