Everything looks fantastic. I contemplated using the exclusive manufacturer badges. Do you have photos of those? Would love to see how they came out.

OK thank you Zhao. Can you provide any technical details about the light itself to understand durability and life expectancy? Sounds like if there's an issue with the light a whole new tail will have to replace. And do you have any pictures in darker lighting (or at night) with the brake lights on to see how it looks lit up along with the OEM lights?

After all this I hope your car is a manual. That’s one of the main ingredient’s to a sport classic. Otherwise change the topic to a unique design 911.

Throughout my entire research and development process, I found the lights to be the easiest part. The OEM lights are compatible with models such as the 991 TBS, 992 TBS, and 718 GT4RS. During development, I certainly had to compare them with the original factory lights, comparing the color and brightness. I have included the comparison images of the original factory lights and my own.
For the 992 brake lights, if they are not OEM, there will be error codes. I eventually solved this problem by using lights with the same power as the OEM ones.


OEM light




My brake light consists of three parts: LED light group, front and rear light housing, and light wire. In fact, the structure is very simple. This is just the simplest brake light. I found a professional car light development factory, and because it only has the function of lighting up, there are only two wires in the wiring harness. It is very simple and even has a lifespan. The factory told me that it can basically be used for vehicle scrapping. If replacement is needed, I can find a way. As long as high-strength sealant is not used internally before leaving the factory, 3M adhesive with lower strength is used for easy disassembly.

The new installation video is easy to install, and the fit is like OEM accessories. If you are an aerokit, you can even watch the mood to switch the tail and go out every day. It only takes 3 minutes.

Cool as hell, in the US that mould would cost a fortune.

I purchased the ZHH ducktail, and it arrived today - WOW - this part is AMAZING. The quality and workmanship is off the charts - best carbon work I've seen. The quality is dramatically better than the Moshamer ducktail I also purchased, which is also very high quality.

I'm super exciting to discover craftsmanship like this - well done, and look forward to your next project! I'm hoping that you do make the wide body (IE 992 TTS) version as well - I'd for sure put one of these on my TTS if it were available.

Echo the other posts, great work!

Can you detail how to do the swap between a regular C4S and installing the duck tail? What coding needs to be done to disable the lift? Cost?
TIA

That's doing it right. "I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it."

Hi siberian
https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1322...l-on-a-c2.html
In fact, there's already a perfect answer on the forums, the installation is actually almost exactly the same as aerokit, because this is the OEM fix, the most scientific way to...
Regarding the programming, you just need the dealer to write you the correct program for fixing the tail, it's about $200, the only subsequent expenses for getting the parts are the paint job, the installation man hours and programming fee

Thanks
