New tail lights

I've been thinking that 911's need a new custom design element. I took a styling cue from the old R tail light which obviously came from a German cattle traileR and have come up with a revolutionary new solution. I just wired it in and it works as great as it looks. If there's enough interest, I may start selling these. Prolly run about $375 per set.

Hmmmm, NOS style 917 tailights
Just $1,200 a set while supplies last. Built to withstand up to 1,300 HP and don't melt like standard lights from exhaust flames.

Yeah Bob, you get it. It makes me feel like I'm in a real race car - a 906 maybe....

They weigh 1.2 oz less than the stock lights.

Yeah they are light and all... But what about the pricing on the set with Amber?

I went to your web-site and found these. ..




But no PRICING

Oh . .FINE!
I don't care about the pricing. The more the better really.

I just want to do what it takes to look cool.

The ambers are sooo cool. . .. especially if they're expensive.

Hey, I have to release these gradually. I'm just getting the tooling set up. I expect these to be big sellers.

Oh, man. ...

.. ..but I wanted to buy them right away, so I could then post about how they're really expensive, but worth every penny.

That's a performance mod, ya know. . . .and look cool too. Not too posser, or anything.

can i back the rearend of the 911 into a lake? i mean are they waterproof? it would be really helpful, when i fit my 911 with a jetski rack. i figured it is really stupid to own my 911 and a truck. so the truck has to go.

Step BACK Mark !

You now have some competition.

My newest design ....


[AirQuotes] L A S E R S [/AirQuotes]


That's right . .you should be scared!

thess bad boyz aren't just three differen colored 'LASER'-pointers. . n'no; they are in a the special "R" housing.

Behold: (don't forget your eye protection)







.. and thats just the tail-light!

I would have shown the Brake-light . ..but some of you were'nt wearing your goggles.

The reverse lights are hella cool too. You get to see Exactly where your pointed.
. ..and the turnsignals .. . they do that "Cylon scan" thing .. .for each direction, of course.


Man, I am so cool . .. I just wish I thought of this Before the big StarWars premire.
