Porsche Wind Deflector with Edge Lighting [from CAD, prototyping to finish]

[jb92563]

Jeez, I've been away from the forum for 6 months and when I come back more interesting ideas have been put into production.

Very cool Fred.

I had started a thread in 2012 on edge lighting ideas but there did not seem to be much interest.

Perhaps DIY vs Get it done for you was the missing ingredient.

I like the edge lit crest but having other options is great.

I wonder what happened to the clear engine cover and lighting idea? You could have your own Flux Capacitor light show in your engine compartment.

I need this. Can't wait until it's available.

Me too - I'm checking on here daily to see if there's any update! Though I was one of the many that swamped Fred with a headlight order in his last run, so I take some responsibility for the delay.

I still can't decide on which colour backlihght to go with - I have silver with a blue hood - has anyone tried the blue backlight with this combo? Or red backlight? Would love to see pics if so.

Thanks

Rox, BoxterPHD, Joseph, all, thanks for the support. Well received guys. I've seen your reg on that GTP site so I'm keeping you guys priority on everything!

Quick Update: I am happy to say that I have finally received 100 (one hundred!) "professionally" coated panels for the manufacturing of the Boxster Illuminated wind deflector. High Quality Stuff! So so (sooooo) happy about that. Received them last Wed. 2 month wait but worth it believe me, they-are-killer.

(Its hard to rush a guy/manufacturer who enforce a MOQ of 10,000pcs/month lollll I'm so bloody grateful he did those for us - making new friends here!)

So finally we have something to play with. From those 100, there are 20'ish reserved to previous SkyBreaker owners (prod recall) so that leaves us with little over 80 kits. Hopefully this time we should have enough for everyone.

I also received 100 PWM controllers/boards so no more excuses, those SkyBreaker kits are going in prod as soon as next week! Good mate Andy is as involved as I am in the making of the SkyBreaker so it should go pretty quick assembly & packaging wise

I'll update on the progress, pics, etc!
