Cool Nine8Six's custom projectors

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

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).

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'..............

I love the 80's and the stripes

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

Does this suit you better?

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.
