yeah im not 100% pleased with the product, and until the last week, communication had been great! I sent Mark(future) a pm so maybe he'll get the ball rolling. To be honest though, if these things need more work than i can handle, I'd like to discuss other options with them. (Like returning these and sending for a replacement)Ive made that clear but they haven't directly responded to that avenue yet...

I bet its not cheap to ship back/out to the US either. I hope they sort it out for you in the end.

Anyway I'm after just the plain ducts and http://www.porscheshop.co.uk/ have them, although luckily they are only about 20 minutes around the corner from me I'll go and check out the quality first.

That would be amazing to be able to do...

Our peoples are only separated by a common language and the stupid North Atlantic...

And FYI Mark is certainly handling things now. Im assuming there is a bit of miscommunication involved. I pointed him to this thread so hopefully he'll chime in!

And I woulnd't put D9 off just yet though, they seem to have quality products, i just caught them at the development stage on this one. Im sure if they just waited a few weeks to actually send the units they'd have been just what i was hoping for!

Then again if you're 20 minutes from Porscheshop thats another matter entirely

You're probably right, I shouldn't discount D9 that easily (I'm so fickle!). Let us know how you get on

I honestly hope D9 can help you get that set working for you or whatever else you need (exchange, etc). I'd always heard good things about them and I'm sure this is just a fluke.

Going for stock units from the 993 at this point, Summer is here. No sense on waiting months for unfinished products.

so after messing about with the light units i discovered a little crack and also found that the provision for mounting the light will turn the light housing sideways... this is a problem since they are projectors with that little cut-off wall inside for the light pattern. The saga continues... I was kind of hoping Mark would chime in at some point publicly...

You could do what i should have done in the first place and buy Arash's units... that is if i don't cut my losses and grab those myself
