I was thinking the same thing:cool: Of course the projectors are pretty cool too!

Nicely all worked, hope you are forgetting all about your cuts & bruises now ;) Makes the car look much younger and sporty. Good move on that.

I'd be really interested to see how the green demon eyes turns out in pure darkness in all honesty

Oh and no-no letting Litronic owners bully you! Your projectors are the result of a few years (+4) R&D which apparently just recently paid off. Talking about the clear elliptical lens & bowl's reflection angles that the manufacturer worked out throughout their versions of the H1 High Performance projector. The beam is much sharper and intense than the Lit's - we've compared them side-by-side. :o

And the Lit don't get to have that unique and sexy blue spectrum color cut-off line neither!

RE your stripes, I'd say keep them for now. If really you go with your idea of adding rocker panels, you may find out that they will look even better than they are already.

Thanks for the awesome pictures, that is pretty cool of you Charles :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Does this suit you better? :p

Or maybe this?

In all honesty though, I don't think I'll use any of them most of the time. They're hooked up to this thingy called a switch. :p :p :p

As in St. John the Baptist ?

Not the best pic, but it was cold and I was in a hurry ;)

The basilica or the headless guy? Why is he green? :p

Yea! it works.

Tell you what... if one day you find your car parked in a very (very) dark place (not that I recommend that!) please snap a pic. Your green LED should push just enough brightness to light up some of the boxster's front-end curves! Could be interesting to see those in green

Well done on the full black interiors. Does look like a proper sport car now ;)

We got about 6 inches of snow last night, though it may make for some nice pictures ;)

I live in a new neighborhood that is still being developed, so we don't have many streetlights yet. I'll just pull down to the end of the cul-de-sac where it's dark and snap some pics when I get a chance.

Thanks buddy! I'm a bit of an aviation nut, so I just had to use that as a backdrop when showing off these beautiful new projectors ;)

It's my new favorite picture :)

The 6 month plan is to remove side stripes and add aftermarket front bumper cover and side skirts ;)

Also in progress is a Cayenne style flip key conversion. I kind of put that one on hold for the last 3 months because I had trouble getting a key cut properly from keysinthepost.com.

I like it because of how how it fits in my pocket without gouging my leg. The switchblade style key blade is pretty slick, too ;)

Did you get the flip key working? What about the remote functions?
I was thinking of converting to a flip key as well

I guess great minds think alike :cheers:

I got the key cut and transponder installed so that I could use it to unlock and start the car.
I didn't like it at all. It felt really awkward to use use in both the door and the ignition. :(

The projectors can be bought at any time ;)

I never got that far. The key was far too awkward to be practical, unfortunately :(

Finally got my CCFL DRLs installed. I like 'em ;)

Sweet! Love the look and the Halo's.

Perfectlap 07-23-2014 12:10 PM
