Yes i have taken those pictures. Took them last summer when we visited Factory musem. My own bucket molds are taken from original GTS buckets, so shape should be like factory ones have.Clear covers are more or less similar to the ones you have fabricated.

Hey Olli,

I thought your GTS lights were already finished and installed...
Do picked some pictures of the red 937 in the museum at Stuttgart?

Martin,

i have sold D9 ones i had. Your & your friends kit is installed into my friends 951.Great kit btw.



I am fabricating GTS bucket/nosepanel combo. I already have this swedish made one, but i need another one, which i want to have with correct shaped buckets .




Perhaps i will also include some vents to it, like these

Last week and this week-end was very productive.

Cover
I’m working on a new cover mold (again ), it need little improvements but it’s a much better / tighter fit.

Bucket
Big move forward, but it will be more expensive and better quality (fibreglass) more to follow.

Thanks

I always liked the idea of these. But hated the square lights look not a big fan of the two bulbs look too, id like to see a half moon/ round projectors. Porsche headlights must be round! respect on the work put in though. Lookin tough.

Agreed. Would rather have round flip lights. But not sure how one would make something similar to a 968 set up, so the squares still look cool.

I feel it would be great to make the fog lights the permanent lights and then extend the hood to the bumper. It would make it look more exotic in my view. Similar to this photoshopped image.

WTFO?

Remember lights need to be higher for so the beems can be aimed down and not into oncoming drivers eyes!

Here’s some news:

Eric at Texas Performance Concept is no longer offering is fibreglass GTS headlight buckets.

The good news is I am.
Eric sold me is molds and I will offer them shortly.
I have not figure out the price yet and I will let you know when I’m ready to go to production.

I don’t have pics of the product at this time, but if you do feel free to share.

Thanks
