Fred

Fred is a genius and an artist. I have the illuminated windscreen with the Porsche crest and it’s beautiful. I missed out on the wheel crests but hope all is well with Fred.

Hoping he comes back to the forum and joins the fun. Would love to have a set of the wheel crests and would love to see what Fred comes up with next. He’s definately missed.

Same here, I have the second generation of his wheel caps and the projector headlights. The flat screen computer in place of the radio he was last working on really looked awesome although it was probably a bridge too far for me! Hope you are well Fred!

I have a set of Blue ones (Perfect, NEver-Installed, Still in FRed's Packaging) that I'd be willing to part with if I could find a set of RED ones.......

Anybody got some RED ONES they'd like to part with?

I really want the projector headlights... They looked awesome. Just got my boxster and what Fred did back in the day was "epic". Wish he was still here and hope he comes back one day. If anyone has some projector headlights they want to sell let me know.

Wanted: Set of Fred's Center Caps...

Hi Guys...and Ladies!

I know it may be a long shot, But I am interested in locating and commandeering a set of Fred's Center Lock style Caps for my 981. Red or Blue would be lovely!

Although I am new "officially" to the site, I have really appreciated all the useful information the forum over the years while relishing my time with my former 986 and despite moving into my 981, I love being a part of this forum!

Thanks so much!

A long shot, but did want to ask if anyone has a set of 4 that they are looking to sell. Would like them to be in top notch condition though. Please PM me. Many thanks.

They are awesome and I always get comments on them (in a good way) when I go through tech:

I would also purchase another set if you make some more, just because they are so great!

Well, if Troy is in, then COUNT me in as well (UPDATE: matte Black, if possible). Will look awesome on the Fuchswheels, I hope.

Thank you.

Uhm Fred, btw. do you know what happened to those "super cars shiny" headlights in the making? You mentioned in a thread somewhere, that you saw some prototypes.

I’m down for ordering a set as well. I’ll have to think on the color choice.

Let's walk the walk.
Btw, that wheel color combo looks intriguing, too. What would be actually possible, Fred?

You know what Bran, lets try a set anodized in "gold with a black center" and see how this ends up looking, although I' 100% sure it will end up looking killer. I have fresh dye stocks from mid 2019 and have that true gold finish in. Not-for-sale; just a complementary color-test kit for you Bran, I'll send it to you with your other kit (Man that classic pcar... those back wheels' and fender flares, yummy. Jeez man if I had money I'd hunt for a classic like this one).

Took note of all the names who are in for the next batch guys, thanks! I'll get a few dozen turned during spring and get this out before the good weather kicks in.

ps. here goes the spare parts I kept for you guys, just in case of mishaps. Got plenty of them in all colors, adapters and an industrial amount of those lil crests too. You know the drill, shoot me a PM if you need a replacement or anything
