Thanks

The pic you posted are of the fibre glass version (I think) They're just bonded in place at the bottom of the fender.
Not easy to do as you have to install the bumper and bonnet extension to make sure everything lines up.

There is an all steel version that run at about $900 USD from "Tre". Also difficult but being steel you're wont have cracky or movement problems.

Personally I'd go the all steel version including the bonnet "long hood" extension.

Thanks but I already bought the fiberglass version.

$900 is heavy

Since this was brought up, we are working on a lower cost of production for the steel weld on light boxes. We have standardized some of the pieces that make up each unit, so its not the time consuming way it was done in the past

I can't say how much the new product will cost yet (retail will certainly be lower), but we will be ready by end of April with inventory

For the fiberglass you will use a panel bonding adhesive to affix them to the bottom of your G series fenders. The adhesive is available in different working times

The fiberglass version comes from renspeed.
Thank you for your answers

TRE Cup do you have an estimate on how much the steel light boxes will cost?

[nicorun_974]

Rennspeed motorsport : Their product are really poor quality. I bought conversion signal light boxes for m'y 73 rs backdate. They didnt fit at all. Impossible to use them, i had to throw them away. They didnt answer my emailer asking a refund. If someone help me to get back my $266,47 USD I will pay 50 usd via paypal.
Good advice : pay more for good quality and it Will finally cost you less.
I bought all my 73 rs parts to d moris in France and everything was perfect. No need to modify any part.

Hello
sorry for the delay, but we were hoping to have a definitive delivery date first. Cost is estimated at $315 each ($630 pair) once they are ready.
However we have to wait our turn in line, with this fabricator. He has all our sample parts, turn signal assemblies, lenses etc so we can ensure a perfect fit for the housings and horn grills.

so now its just a matter of time before we see product. We really hope that we will be ready by June 15. But i cannot promise anything until we have product in hand

Thank you
Dave

I'm in...my birthday is July 10th, sounds like the perfect gift. All I need is the impact bumper 911 to backdate now...

I'm assuming these are actual stock look...i.e. not "R" look extensions? Have you ever thought about "R" look metal extensions? Seems like they would be easier to fabricate...could even be a stamping?

Just a thought.

But seriously...I want a pair of those extensions...

Dave that is great news. Compared to the price of so so early fenders this is a great deal. Might get a set from you.

I got all my F/G backdate parts from them and had no problem with the fit.
Not in-fill parts, but both fenders hood and bumpers.
Good shut lines and not too much trouble to fit including side lights and turn signal housings

I'd also be interested in a set of high quality steel light boxes.

Where can I buy the actual light/lens assembly? Are there any reasonably priced aftermarket ones available?

Thanks,
Kay

Ooh I would be all in for some 911R style

The future availability of decent but semi-affordable steel lightbox extensions will likely be the determining factor whether I backdate my car when I paint it. I can deal with fiberglass bumpers, and am OK with 'glass for the front hood. But I don't want 'glass fenders for daily street use. And real long-hood fenders are more than I want to pay.
