OK 'testarossa_td ' A big thanks for your photoshop help.

I agree that the original snake eye one looks the best. I will pass these pictures on to the company I have commissioned to make the light for me and ensure that as 'poobah' states... make sure that the finished product does not look sad!

The pictures do make the front of the car look much better with this conversion and I can't wait until they finish them for me next week.

Of the 4 pics above I like the red the best(where it's low but you can't see the headlight covers). I want this!

All right it looks OK, will likely be expensive, and might put out better light than 100w h-4s, but.... I really don't understand this great desire to change the look of a Porsche to something well that looks like a non-Porsche. Maybe that is just me, an old fart, but I'd rather spend my money on "go-fast" stuff.

Good job on the PhotoShop. I like the snake eyes version the best but that custom lower valance looks very strange. Reminds me of a nightmare involving a Orthodontist and a deep sea bass...ugh!

The kit will be supplied ready to fit and painted as well in satin black to match the rear plastic casing, but I'm sure that special order can be arranged to a color requested.

good comment 'NZ951'

That must have cost you a ton of cash to mould unless you "know" a guy.

I was just thinking about headlights today, and poof up comes this topic. At first I wasnt sure what to think, but it seems like this will look very nice. I'm definitely in the market for some of this goodness.

What if the "mouth" of the Carrera GT were reduced such that its outer sides aligned vertically above the inner edges of the tires, as seen in the latest photoshop? In other words, same shape mouth, but smaller?

How will you get them to come up only 1/2 way?

'azmi951' The standard bar that rotates around will be cut and rewelded including adjustable bolts!

Next week you will see the pictures.

It is an easy modification and will come supplied with the kit.

Regards, Mark

No problem. That is why I love photoshop. Helps you flesh out concepts.

Testarossa_td, if you aren't too swamped with photoshoping as it is, could we see the snake eyes headlights on a black 951?
