Heqdlights?

Love the headlights. Mine are clouding over and not responding well to cleaning, and I've never loved the fried egg look. Can you tell me where you got them?

hmm...how close am I to Porsche's upcoming one-off 996 sports classic?



...just a plasti-dip rattle can, two pieces of vinyl wrap and a duck tail away.

Actually, how would a duck tail look on a Boxster?

I don't need the Porsche lettering on the door.

As an idea: last attempt reminds me on something like the BB Porsche 911 SC built by Rainer Buchmann, but with a different color scheme.

And as always: i like your approach doing things different.

Not so sure about the rainbow color scheme, but wow...that interior

Oh my Lord, I lost it....

fiat lux...wip
running 4 glas fiber cables from an LED on the back of my iphone holder, just to illuminate a pretend radio dial
...the apple charging puck had to be relocated for better performance
...and a new USB-C 65Watt charger had to be installed and powered directly from the fuse box. These wireless charging devices need a lot of juice
...it offers now an additional monitor for tire pressure and additionally two flickering amber lights with no purpose
...and more

I used every inch possible of the frame and when it's fired up, it looks like a Notfallbeleuchtung on WW2 UBoat.

Yes, I thought so as well. The seller sent me an offer for $300 but then there is still about $60 in shipping. It does look nice though and my center console is showing it’s age.

It's coming to an end (WIP)...1st pic shows the concept with secondary monitor, little weathering

WHAT HAPPENED??

BURL WOOD DESIGN

ATTACHABLE sun shade. As it is blocking the view on my iphone sreen quite a bit, I decided to only attach it, when the sun is too glary. I can easily store it under the middle arm rest.

Okay...so this is the last "version" (still minor things to do) of it.
NEXT and FINAL step will be an iPad mini, but it has to have wireless charging (they still don't offer that)...maybe in 2023/2024.
Until then I'll have fun with my little iphone holder/recharger with additional features.
