Chills,

Here are images of the kit (2-Din housing & brackets, Porsche 986 wire harnesses, antenna adapter, radio removal keys, screws, wire nuts, custom support bracket, heat shield, fascia or faceplate). It will definitely be nice for those that haven't done the install yet to use a kit with photo directions. My brother has his hands in a lot of projects to keep him busy, but he was happy to help me with out with this project.

The photo instructions is almost completed, just trying to put as much pertinent info on there as possible. I will post it tomorrow if I can, depends on how late I work tonight.

The kit will be on Ebay today but no later than tomorrow is what I was told. My brother is low on the quantity of the faceplates & custom support brackets but has some on order again. He wasn't really anticipating selling more than 100 of these.

Very cool kit, Tri.

So how much for just the bracket and the heat shield? And I must say the faceplate is pretty sweet. How much for that as well?

Has your brother sold 100 of these already?? That's awesome.

Chills,

I talked to him last night regarding the kit & what he decided to do was (1) package an entire kit and (2) package a kit with just the fascia or faceplate, custom support bracket & the heat shield for those who have already done the install, but will sell any part(s) that people need. He's still working on the pricing cause the need for kit is relatively low so he can't buy in bulk yet to get a good price. In addition, his dilemma is that the kit has to be reasonable price to move as well. But the guy is an animal, I can't he got rid of most the parts in a matter of a couple of weeks. He's been working with Porsche Clubs & custom shops that is in 200 miles radius from our place. He said he'll have it on Ebay either tonight or tomorrow for people interested.

When he posts it on eBay can you put a note here for the guys waiting. Can you also put some key words to find it on eBay.

On a related note, I need some help finding a wiring harness to connect to the car wiring. I'm on the fence if I'm going to do the Pioneer DVD in this post or a flip up model (I hate the idea of losing my cup holders) - sound and video is more important.

I've been searching eBay and can't find the harness for the head unit. I also need a connector for the amp - I'm planning on swapping that out as well but using the stock wiring. I installed JL Audio 6.5 inch subs in the door already and I'm using the stock wiring for those speakes.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
-Steve

Excellent. Just let me know when he's got the pricing set and I'll send him the money and my shipping address.
