TurboX - Thanks for the comments and again thanks to everyone else.

Yes I do intend on selling them and I promise I will not add to the list of other manufactures out there that say they will do this and that but never produce the good

Again as mensioned before... Like myself you will all have to wait untill they are fitted to my car so we can all see, including myself how good they look.

The test fit was a great success and I'm looking forward to seeing and using the finished result.

The first molds fitted extremely well (production like) and the whole fitting process is simple.

When the job is completed I will be making explicit fitting instructions with a step-by-step pictured guide including wiring etc. so what this space.

Thats looking better 'testarossa_td', but they'll go lower still!

Can you do a comparison picture i.e original lights next to my new design! - That would be well cool

Testarossa, you're amazing!! Can you do that again, but now with the headlights having the same ~1/2" gap below the headlights as between the headlights and the cover?


And (this is something that's been on my mind for a long time) would it be possible to do a photoshop mod such that the face/fixed headlights/splitter, etc. of a Carrera GT is put on a 951/S2 ?

The setup sounds like it will be a great improvement in the looks of the car, and if they look anything like those photoshops they will be sexy as hell! Make sure to get a pic of the car from the side with the lights up so we can see the new profile (once you get them all fitted up etc).

Awesome idea!

aeronautica86 - When fitted up next week I'll post loads of pictures including the fitting stage etc.

Thanks, Mark

Thumbs up Headlights

Hi there,

Time for my first post I guess..

I have to say that those photoshopped pics look fantastic. I have been thinking the exact same design for some time now and also been wondering why hasn't anyone already done it !

I can't wait to see the real ones installed.

Now I just may have to buy me one of those cars.

Cheers,
Jarmo

How are you going to get the lights to stop at only 1/3 of there full rotation?

Almost Anything is possible in Photoshop....It is all about time and skill..(and the right pictures




So no one liked the original panda version

Hi there,

The red one looks like it's factory designed.. beautiful.
I think one shouldn't be able to see the headlight covers when looking from the front of the car.
Just IMHO of course

The 'snake eyes' version is perfect IMO. The one with them in the lowest position makes the car look 'sad' (and nobody wants an unhappy Porsche ).

BTW, if/when production happens I'm interested depending onwhat the final version will look like & cost.
