Incredible. Been reading the whole thread for the last 3 evenings. Wow.
Did you spell out what fender liner or underside protection you are using underneath the GTS Fenders? Maybe I missed that?
Are the Fenders OEM? Are they still available? I assumed the rear fascia is OEM.

Realy looking forward to the feed back onthe wiper motor.
I was reading on their blog [Mustag project] about indicator wiring but they didn't get far enough for me to see how they do it?
Does the Master Cell send an intermittant signal to the Power Cell, or do they still use a blinker unit? a blinker unit would make for interesting wiring?

. I may have it professionally done later but for now I will keep the original trim paint. I am assuming the same might happen with the jump post cover but it is hidden under the hood, so it is of minor importance at the moment.Cheers!

Now that looks sooo cool Carl. I've always ued the stut brace bolt to earth the charger and I hate how it scratches the srut brace paint.

No blinker unit. It is all done in software code and CAN communication. When you activate the turn signal with the turn signal lever, the Mastercell "reads" via two thin 22awg wires, and sends a command via the CAN to the front power cell which activates the "turn signal personality". It is a solid state MOSFET chip that just turns on/off the requested output. That is where you get the significant reduction in wiring as you are just sending data to the location where the "event" needs to happen. All the communication is over a pair of 22awg wires. So you eliminate a lot of larger gauge wiring that is looping back and forth.

Gday Carl, I am in the "have been reading this thread over and over" camp, simply inspirational, and just another reason why I will never let my 928 ever be assigned to the scrap heap!! AWESOME and thankyou!!!!

A small update while I wait for some wiring data from Infinitybox. One of the biggest annoyances for me has been getting the stock wiper motor to play with the Infinitybox system, and the short answer is, it won't! Being an older motor the wiring is somewhat complex and uses an external park function via the intermittent relay and (it seems) the wiper stalk connections themselves. The motor itself, it seems, has no internal park function at all.
As I do not want to keep all the stock wiring and intermittent relay, I needed to find a "modern" wiper motor that fit in the stock location, using the exact same mounting hole spacing...and it sure took some searching.
Finally, there seems to be a Bosch wiper motor that may (waiting on the wiring data) work as planned, and it fits. And it is used in other Porsches! Best part is, why pay over $500 for a new boat anchor motor when you can have a NEW 911/Boxster motor (1998-2011) for less than..drumroll....$130?
Now, this refers to the Infinitybox system, and the motor is currently on the way to them for analysis to see if it can be properly controlled with the minimum wiring possible. Once I get the wiring data, I will post it here as it MAY be a usable option for the standard 928. If someone wants to get creative and play with it on a stock 928, the part number is 0 390 241 389
Here are some comparison pictures of both motors mounted.
Cheers!
