Nine8Six's custom projectors

Love the Carrera GT style shrouds ;)
He probably won't be making these indefinitely...get 'em while they last! :eek:

Nine8Six custom headlight projector kit.
The price can't be beat, either. There are many color combination choices and even a new angel eye halo option ;)

Ambient light devil eye effect (daylight only, no backlight).

And some gratuitous pics from today...

RaisedOnPorsches 12-06-2013 03:41 PM

Looks great! Though you do need to request some white bumper plugs for x-mas. ;)

What's the next mod on your list?

Bumper plugs, lol!

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 ;)

Good plan. I've always thought the side stripes were so 80's, if you know what I mean. ;)

Just sayin'..............

Give me those lights!!

The French Dude 12-07-2013 03:32 AM

I love those side stripes :p

Timco 12-07-2013 05:28 AM

Got lits, but those are sweeeet.

heliguy 12-07-2013 08:29 AM

I love the side stripes, I'm considering them.

They work really well on silver cars and black cars.
Those are best.

I want these headlights in titanium finish with gun metal inside reflector thing, the one that's currently cheesy disco mirror ball color stock.

BrokenLinkage 12-07-2013 11:55 AM

The new lights look great, but I'm pretty satisfied with my Litronics, functionally and cosmetically.
But...Does anyone know if painting the interior of the lights black will significantly reduce the signal from laser speed-detection devices?

heliguy 12-07-2013 12:41 PM

I'm sure black innards will not reduce laser speed devices.

Leebherron 12-07-2013 01:21 PM

I got a set of the nine8six projectors in red today! To die for ! Thanks Fred!

Not sure what a lateran is, lol, but they are full spectrum LEDs. I happen to like green ;)

Does this suit you better? :p

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

I love the 80's and the stripes :p

But, I also like change, variety, and being different...obviously ;)

Get them installed and post pics! I must see this! :D
What color is your car? Red, I'm assuming...?

BrokenLinkage 12-07-2013 10:05 PM

Cool! Like a mood ring for your car. Green for everyday tooling around. Blue for date nights. Red for the days you put the 94 octane in it!
All kidding aside, they are pretty doggone slick, but I'm not sure I've got the geek cred or the street swagger to pull them off for my ride.
I wanna see the red installed.
Mild bummer if I can't rationalize them as decreasing the odds of a laser ticket, but our rides are reportedly already comparatively hard to get a good bounceback signal from the laser...

heliguy 12-08-2013 04:37 AM

I wonder if Batmans Tumbler is immune to radar.

The French Dude 12-08-2013 07:12 AM

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

Nine8Six 12-08-2013 07:57 AM

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:

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

Nine8Six 12-08-2013 02:37 PM

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 ;)

particlewave 12-09-2013 12:35 AM

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 :)

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:

NJBoxster2000 07-16-2014 11:56 AM

LOVE THEM!!!!! Where do I sign up for the group buy????

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. :(

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

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

Coaster 07-23-2014 11:15 AM

Sweet! Love the look and the Halo's.

Perfectlap 07-23-2014 12:10 PM

umm.... this is awesome!!! you need to work this into your avatar or signature somehow.
