First of all, this is a prototype. These will be painstakingly handcrafted by me, using a variety of special tooling I have built. Price and finish have yet to be determined. This prototype is just bare bead blasted aluminum. I can make them in steel, but they end up being startlingly heavy.

Yes, a foglight version is in the works. They will be much more complicated and time consuming, so the price will likely be higher.

Discuss.

Very Cool, I don't see any reason why you couldn't put fog lights behind those.

As Borat would say...


"Very nice. How much?"

Seriously that looks great. The bevel on the leading edges looks just right.

Very Nice!!

Thanks guys!

You're right, you could put fog lights behind these. You wouldn't have the fog light look though.

I will ask the question noone has asked yet. Can you chrome plate them?

That prototype looks great!!

If they're aluminum you don't have to.

Those would polish up ***really*** nice!



Do it! Please!!!!



Put me down for at least one pair. I don't even have to know the price; I want a pair.

did you win the lottery?

Looks good. The advantage of chrome is that it doesn't oxidize. And with the mag-chloride that they use around here, gint....

Posted by: Gint Nov 7 2006, 09:09 PM

I don't drive my 914 in mag chloride... I can afford two cars. Maybe 3... hell maybe even 9

That's the way it is with you Colorado guys. Hell Greg has so many cars that he has to store them in other states.

I resemble that remark. I'm picking up another vehicle over Thanksgiving. My father-in-law is giving me one. I THANKED him for GIVING it to me.

He who dies with the most toys wins, right?

Aluminum + Polish + Anodize = Super Cool, long lasting shine without oxidation.

Even just polished with a clear-coat would be awesome. Look good!
