Question Any one try this yet?

Has any one tried or seen on of these installed and working.

I admit I am not big on bling, but I have wondered why Porsche didn't do this...

I kind of like it, but it seems very pricey.

I was told about but never saw a 993 track car that illuminated the entire thing as a "3rd" brake light.

That's just for trouble and way too much $$$ for no horsepower gain!!!

Hey Joe, Please update your car's build date and serial number on the VIN thread.

seen from behind at night, the 911's silhouette is making the correct statement already.

Yikes! That's a lot of dust for no gain in aero, handling, braking or power.

A little too blingy and DEFINATELY not worth a grand.

I did, however, just recently do the 4th and 5th brake light mod (put sockets & bulbs in the rear fog blanks)

I never understood badge mania. Are people somehow unaware that our cars are Porsches, to the point where the fact needs to be shoved down their throats?

It's the automotive version of the "kick me" sign. No thanks.
