If that is how it looks with crappy photos (according to you), it must be amazing to the naked eye. Nice looking and amazing detail.

Nah just the brightness. Dislike those RGB strips... hard to find in micro size and most I've seen needs 4 wires to operate. That'd add a river of cabling to the 'already-small' deflector Porsche kit :/ I agree tho... it is the way to go
This kit's simple, 100% stock lookin. Had to be. One little 3mm wire that you can't see! Strips are easily interchangeable. Love the CNC blades look also. OH... and no more stickers. Etching looks absolutely stunning in day time. Stopped by the car this morning on my way to the villa's mailbox.... my excuse just to look at the official deflector LIVE on the car. Keeping this badge (screw flowers, for now)
Not a huge mod I know lol but anything that makes me and the car happy is a successful mod here 
Thanks for the compliments guys. Grateful nobody flamed my 'pink' looking taillights

Is there any way to have a half red, half other color strip to support the break light idea I had? It should be easy..ish. I assume your setup is one or 2 wires coming out. My thinking is that you'd need to add one more wire to support the red LEDs. I'm still trying to get you to support that idea.

lol fair enough Tony. I'll see what I can do but really I wanted to get the kit out in a "as-simple-as-possible" format (12V +/- terminals, brightness feature, that's it!). At that point whatever you guys want to DIY with it is entirely up to you (fun weekend projects for some).
Dual-color = no, but dual intensity LED connected onto your brake light circuit is fine and really not complicated at all. One resistor + one diode and off you go ($1). You could tap into the brake light's 12v from the clam's brake light to enable your dual intensity. Vid below is how its done including hardware involved (bikes, cars, boat whatever runs 12DCV is all the same concept mate)

Tony - got those taken for you to see what's happening there. Wire-wise it's the safest/smallest I could come up with to supply the 12v to the single-color LED strip. Already small, 26AWG wires covered by a PVC insulation (OD3mm).
There's the kit... simpler than that is hard! Gave it my best shot anyway.
- Etched window (Porsche bracket not included)
- LED strip in color of choice + one spare
- LED modules/blades (CNC thingny, black, no Skybreaker logo no worries)
- PWM Controller (Brightness thingy)
- Lots lots lots of wire for you to cut lol
* NO CLIPs. Found out some retail those for as cheap as $5 these days :/ didn't know.... remember paying something like $60 incl shipping once for those clips
Made-in-China my friend. $9.95 (+ tax... about $7,855)

Looking Good.
If I get this item, I may have to install a decal that states
"Porsche by Fred"

Wicked cool Nine! Now I just have to figure out what colour would work best on my Arctic Silver.
As to hooking it up - I'm no electronic whiz...what's the difficulty scale on getting this installed do you think?

Can you post a cold white " S " please ? I think that would look best on my Arctic Silver. Thanks

Looks absolutely great! With my car being black and the trunk brake light, I think the red would be perfect.
So, will it come with a few other colors to experiment?
I'd like to sign up for the "Skybreaker" and can't wait. I guess all I need is your link to the purchase process. Don't have paypal at the moment but can set that up.
Awesome looking product, looking forward to your next creation!
:dance:
