hmmm...the new 911 :confused:

Panamera seems to have introduced the new back end :D
I like the Finns and the new look.
..the good old dainty elegance shifts more and more to muscle :D

Hmmmmm.........

Don'y know about the "Robocop" look.

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

TO

a different 986 TUNING...hmmm...let's see what they say (lol):

* RACING CAMSHAFT (German Company): +20HP
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1519469107.jpg

* Plasma Direct Ignition Coil Pack & Plasma Booster (Japanese Company): +5-10HP
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1519470635.jpg
"The spark amperage is increased by 100%, allowing the spark to reach many more molecules, which therefore accelerates the ignition and combustion processes. This is extremely important in forced induction applications, but also improves the performance of normally aspirated engines. The Plasma Direct will increase horsepower and torque throughout the entire RPM range, as well as reducing fuel consumption. Even engines with legendary smoothness will be further refined with the Plasma Direct upgrade. Plasma Direct coils are OBD II compliant."

* +102 octane RACING gas (German Company): +5-10HP
More power - better acceleration - better gas mileage - smoother running engine - cleaner

O-KAY, sure :D

Although I really like the look of the newer vertical finns (and what I created from scratch), i found THIS NOS part for an absolutely reasonable price on ebay. Worth a try ... OEM 911 OLD SCHOOL GRILL
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1519554657.jpg
...would make sense...with my old school look and my use of OEM PORSCHE parts :D

concerning tuning:
well race gas is not a biggie, I use that already.
Next is the filter exchange, as long as there is no 987 airbox.
Paper filter goes, BMC "Race" filter comes.

just for the heck of it...while waiting for spring

FM7 has a fantastic design editor, probably the best tool to test layouts, colors and even oem/aftermarket parts, forget photoshop ;)

Really like those stripes better than what Ive been working on. 😐
Wish I knew the exact dimensions on those. Any guess?
Nice work!

We'll see, but thx!
I would say roughly AROUND 50cm overall width --> Virtual design

I like your concept, because it is not such a "classic" PORSCHE 3-stripes design. I picked it, because it repeats the side stripes I have.
I had a 3-stripe design once on my trunk and liked it, but knew I wanted it a bid wider.
Simple trick, if you see a design on a frunk/trunk...just extend the design down to the license plate, get the exact measurements for it and Bingo...
My design is atm 2,5cm - (3cm space) - 34cm - (3cm space) - 2,5cm = 45 cm --> Euro license plate 51cm.
...and not sure, if I should have gone wider. Just have to wait and see.
I like a wider 3-stripes design on our 986.

�� It never looks as good when I do it ��

Looks wider at the front than the back but it's the same.

Changed the front of all lines inward 1" so 2" narrower at the front still not much change.

Looks good, JB!
I would prefer a little thinner side lines...and just for the heck of it, I photoshopped a little extension beyond the frunk gap, just for imagination. As I have my alu bumper upfront, I will extend it to the bumper. It will optically stretch the hood and to a "long hood".

OMG 😍 I know that's not the same as my car but that's tge look I'm shooting for. WOW You do great work. Stripe size, spacing? Got any ideas what they would be? I'm not good at eyeballing that.

The all silver with the side bars looks much better than what I had. I had to order more wrap because I wasn't happy with a few places that wrinkled. I got over confident and need a helper next time.

Since my editing skills are poor. I took all my scraps of wrap I had left over and pieced them together so I could try to duplicate your PhotoShop. Not bad for scraps

1" - 16" - 1" front of hood, middle strip 19" at w/s.

Carporn 2.0 :cheers:

upper part still wider than lower part? I probably would keep it same size without black outlines...makes your life a lot easier, too ;)
I think you nailed it!

Thanks Opinion, 16" or 19"?

19" or 16" ==> no doubt 16", maybe even 15", just maybe, not sure :D
Fine tuning ;)

The narrower it is the easier it is. I'll tape out 15 and 16 to see how it looks. Thanks for the help.:cheers:

...all that wonderful built work for nothing, well, not quite
It will be quite some work to trim it down (did trim it a bit already to fit, but it still needs more), but I have a feeling it might look quite convincing....Needs a 2.7 badge when done, lol
It has not QUITE the perfect curve, but it is good enough.

That's going to look really great 👌

Hmmmm..... 😀

hahaha...now that would take it to the next level! But a (fully) functional spoiler is way beyond may capabilities. :D
Nevertheless that would look awesome and create down force to boot.

dremel is your best friend...but trimming hard plastic still sucks
and there is a lot to trim on the backside to make it sit flush.
I will smoothen and round the edges a bit for the old school look.
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1520457755.jpg
I will make it work, I have that confident Feeling :D

So your going to use both?

no no, it will be just the 911 grill, the old grill is a (place)holder for the moment...but somehow I do like the chrome shimmering through it.

will put that on my to-do-list:
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1520603737.jpg
Not sure, if the amber will be bright enough to shine through that green
Not sure, how to color it. Are there shops, who could customize dials or is that an easy DIY?

yeah saw similiar priced ones on FVD.de
Would be nice to have someone "process" my design with proper equipment. We will see, but thanks anyways TRK.

Just got a mega deal for a 981 brake light...new ones are already pretty cheap. If it it possible to install it, perfect...if not...no loss. I really dislike the cheapo brake light they gave us with the TOP.
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1520791613.jpg

a little detail arrived, but not quite sure, how they attached it though...
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1520967553.jpg
weighs around 0.75kg, less than I thought

Probably molded with the plastic. I had an Audi with a similar emblem on the grill that I thought would be easy enough to remove....nope. I had Dremmel in hand ready to cut it off, and I stopped myself fearing the outcome would be worse than the badge.

well, it fits perfectly on top and sits like on rails (due to top/bottom grooves). It is probably glued on with PU adhesive.

wow...the rear window of the 981 must be much wider, the 981 3rd brake light "JUST" fits the Z-Top rear window, although it does not match the curve.
But it would be possible to attach it, it is just a matter of the LEDs visibillty and glare.

Looking forward to see how this works out ;)

OK, but we want to see it installed on the car. :D ;)

What car are you talking about, I only have a hatch :cheers:
P.S. what was in the garage again, don't remember, I don't go there in that weather anymore....
