Laser etched wind deflector

I have been helping a local Dallas company Wind Restrictor come to market with custom laser etched wind deflectors for the Boxster. Mostly they needed my car for fitment test and a photo shoot. Selecting a custom image was the most difficult part and the Guinness logo came out better than I ever hoped. Guinness is my favorite! It's actually laser etched in color, not a sticker.

I am in no way affiliated with Wind Restrictor and this is not an advertisement, but I did get a freebie for my time

That is very sharp!

What I like best (besides being etched) is the fact that it is different.

Too many folks think they have to have "Porsche" or "Boxster" written over every spot of the car.

Three Thumbs up! (Yeah I was born deformed)

It looks great!!

Doesn't this company offer wind restrictores that light up?? Does the ones for the boxster offer the light up? Also can thay make them in different colors.

I think a smoked wind restrictor that lights up red with the brakes would nice.

One day I will learn to follow links before I post.

Yes this company can set up the restricter to run with the head lights, or brake lights and a few options in between.

Unfortunately at this point the Boxster will only have the multi-color etched option, not illuminated. Adding illumination requires a custom black plastic trim or serious modification to the Porsche one. For now they punted on illumination in favor or getting a product to market. I expect they will have a solution in a future second generation product. Even without illumination it's still pretty sweet
