I just put led bulbs in mine

Mine got here - East coast of Canada!
 

No problems, all intact, looks awesome. Need to schedule some "me" time to install it :P .
Oh, and what also very neat......didn't get dinged a dime in taxes by the Post Office! Thanks Fred!!

Got around to installing my Skybreaker the other day. I decided to use the factory phone plug for switched power and it was easy to locate and connect.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1436297308.jpg

This small piece of carpet under the dash slides toward the frunk and exposes the forward console area.

The four wires are Brown- (ground), Yellow- (mutes radio if phone in use), Green- (switched power, 12v when key is turned to accessory), Red- (continuous 12v, not switched).

Spliced into ground (brown) and switched (green) wires and soldered. Apologies for focus and soldering abilities. :)
The rest was running wires as others have done. Thanks to BruceH for the velcro mounting idea.

I'll post a night pic when I get a chance.

I should have mentioned, if using this plug it was easy to find. Once the small piece of carpet is removed, just reach in and feel around.

Put a small cloth over the tip of a flat screw driver you can shove that wire inbetween the roll bar cover

Great idea...I'll do that, thanks Martin :D

A credit card works well, too ;)

Lol pshf you gotta do it the millwright way ;)

I used a plastic trim removal tool from Harbor Freight to tuck the wires. Nicely done ccjazz!

I pulled the side panel off (never noticed those came off) and just ran the wire behind the side panel into the bin rather than drill a hole. Seems to work much better than just hanging the wire inside over the top as I had done before ....Thanks

Yeah, I have to re-do those wires, thanks again for the velcro/dash install idea!
:cheers:

I'll try to get a picture of it later on, but I actually connected mine to the rear parking lights via the bundle of wires that run through the b-pillar trim where the seat belt is mounted. Super easy to get to (tough to find the right wire in the bundle) and short. No need to run wires into the center console.

I was thinking about that, or the rear defrost wiring. I wasn't sure how I would find switched power controlled by the ignition switch position so went with the phone plug option. Wanted to avoid drilling holes too.

I'd like to see how you wired that up.

Quite Pleased with myself :)
 

I got mine installed today, the process went very well. Thanks to all for the tips. I went with the phone plug under the centre console, it was easy to get to and easy to find. Also happy with my colour selection :) Fred, your product adds a lot and modernizes the look significantly!

Wow! That looks fantastic:cheers:

Fred,

I know I promised to cool my heels but I'm jealous of all these guys installing their sky breakers. Can you update?

Thanks, Larry

That is what I would call a perfect color match! Nice work :cool:

That is absolutely sweet looking! First one I have seen in yellow, great match.

Guys. I have a 2002 Boxster S and was looking for a center wind screen.
Where was this purchased? A little information please.

The link is buried back several pages. Possibly a long wait (and Im ahead of you :p) as the maker is an enthusiast and gets orders filled as his personal time permits...
