It will be a 4x6 for sure, but I don’t know what type yet.

With the internet being such a visual multimedia environment it would be super to see a view images/video of the complete kit when it becomes available.

Some people are more technical and just need numbers to crunch, while others may arrive through other sensory means like vualization. Pictures will serve as a type of samples, the same as if I went to order from a clothing catalog without being familiar with a particular fabric.

Congrats thus far on all your time/work/energy on this project.

Thanks!

Will do
I’m currently working on the first kit for my first client / tester and I will post pics of the full kit when I have everything together.

Thanks

Is this kit for NA's or Turbo/S2's? Sorry if I missed it in the post somewhere. If not mistaken they have different covers.

For NA, but will be working on a 951/S2 cover shortly.

It looks amazing! Great work!

I can't wait until you have the turbo version ready! I'll definitely buy a FG set for a turbo.

I got my 951/S2 nose yesterday and the buckets compatibility looks good so far

Is that a new set you made for 951s, or are those 944 headlights next to a 951 nose? I see a gap on the lower inside corner of the lights.

Yes, those are the same buckets (944) beside a 951 nose.
The small gap you see will go away in the trimming process to fit in the covers.

Thanks

Hmm. The 944 and 951 have different header panels (because of the more curved bumper on the 951), and therefore differently shaped headlight buckets. It's well known that 944 headlight covers can't be used on a 951, like when people try to put a 951 bumper and header on a 944 NA.

I'm not trying to be a stickler, I don't care as long as the part fits right and looks right. Are you going to trim them or will the buyer have to do that?

Maybe I have a limited imagination but I think you'll have to end up making new molds for the 951.
