Thanks for sharing the info and pics

Great project!!! +1 for a 951 version when available...

Those projectors look great! I'd be in for a set of them. When do you think you'll have them ready to go?

Soon, hopefully
I’m aiming for May, more then likely mid-month
Thanks

For the first time, a fully mounted fibreglass bucket with cover.
Yep, those are mounted and secured in place, not one screw or bolt visible.

Looks great. I'm up for a dual projector 951 kit...

Just to clarify, I will not offer dual projector but noting stop you from buying the buckets and covers and install them your self.
I will probably offer 4x6 light, but I’m not sure yet.
The problem is that there is way too many option to keep up with and everybody wants something different.

Thank you for you interest
Stay tune for more development

Hi,

I’m not ready to take orders on covers or covers with buckets yet because
I want them test by someone else before but I should be ready in about 3 to 4 weeks.
However, if you only want buckets I can take you order.

So, here the price list:

Covers any color $125/set
TPC Fibreglass buckets $185/set
TPC Carbon fibre buckets $285/set

Hardware included with purchase of covers and buckets.
No hardware included with only covers or only buckets simply because they would be useless.

Everything is + shipping and in Canadian $

I only accept Paypal.

Order via email only and include:
- How many set of buckets you want?
- Fibreglass or Carbon fibre?
- Your Paypal address?
- Shipping address?

Note that the covers and buckets interlock together and to do so, I have to trim the buckets a bit more.
So, if you order buckets and covers separately, you will have to trim the buckets to fit.

When I get enough order for buckets, I will send you an invoice through Paypal and I will pass the order to my glasser; He has a 2 to 3 weeks turn around time.

Thanks

That is good news.

When can we expect a set for the 951?

I’m still waiting on the 951 nose panel that I bought.
As soon as it shows up, I will start working on it.
Hard to predict when they will be ready, hopefully early June.

Thanks

I got my 951/S2 nose yesterday and the buckets compatibility looks good so far

I did lots of work last week-end and on evenings this week
and the first client / tester kit is done and ready to go in
the mail (carbon fibre with medium bronze covers)
as well as my kit (fibreglass with clear covers).

Once installed, the tester will report back and if everything goes well,
I will open the sale on the 924/931/944 kit, I’m guessing a minimum of 3 weeks.
Pricing for the full kit (with 4x6 lights) is still not confirmed as
I still haven’t found a reliable source for those parts.

Stay tune
Thanks

See my earlier post on converting from round to square, the pin outs are different, you have to change your wiring.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I will not build any kit until I received feedback from my tester (estimated 3 weeks),
however I will accept orders for 924/931/944 kit.
By ordering now, you will cut your waiting time by at least 3 weeks.
Since my glasser has a turn around time of 3 weeks, I should get buckets (assuming I get enough orders)
and feedback from my tester at around the same time.

To place your order you need to send me via Email your choice:

- Fibreglass ($185 uncut) or Carbon Fibre ($285 uncut)
- Covers clear or color ($125)
- 4X6 bracket (buckets and rings that hold the light) installed, new ($80) or used ($30 only 2 or 3 set available right now)
- 4X6 Euro Headlight Autopal ($75) or Bosch ($175) prices to be confirm, 60/55 bulb included for both
- Your PayPal address
- Shipping will be calculated using online estimate base on your location and will include insurance.

If you’re buying buckets, a non-refundable deposit is required at the time you are placing
your order to help me covering the cost of the buckets production.

Fibreglass $75
Carbon fibre $150

I will send you an invoice for the remaining of your bill (total – deposit) when I gather all the parts and I’m ready to build your kit.
I will start building your kit as soon as you pay and it should be ready and shipped within one week.

If you’re buying buckets only, installation hardware will not be included simply because they would be useless.

If you’re buying covers only, you can order now with no deposit, but I will not produce before I get feedback from my tester.
Some of the installation hardware will be include and it will be up to you to fit them to your own buckets.

Keep in mind that those cover and bucket are build to interlock together, which is a key part in the installation process.

Installation instruction will be send via Email.
If you’re running into any problem during the installation, please contact me via email with detail and pictures.

Feel free to contact me for any question.

Thanks

Very nice.
How goes the 951 fitment?

I spend my time on the 924/931/944 set to finish it, so no progress on the 951/S2 set to report at this time. However, it is next on my list.

Thanks

I'll order a complete kit once you get the 951 fitment down...

Also put me down as interested for a set that will fit the 951.

I am curious if the angle of the clear lens really disrupts the light output that much? I seem to remember this was the biggest complaint about the fixed headlights going back to the 924 CGT. My Jeep uses the same 4x6 square headlights; after putting in a new harness similar to what we would do on the 944, e-code Hella lenses and 100/80w H4 bulbs the light output is very good.. honestly just as good as the HID projectors in my friends WRX, though without the blue'ish hue.

Also can you post any pictures about how the buckets are fitted to the car?

I installed my kit

Looks good. Get the 951 fitment done and I'll order a kit.

This will let me delete the head light bar, plus all the headlight motor/linkage stuff that makes radiator hose routing a PITA for me...

Here are few pics:

1- View from inside and bracket
2- Rings: used chrome, new chrome, new black (2 available) in this order
3 and 4- Light brackets: used, new (this part is behind the buckets and not visible)

Thanks

Overall I think this is a fantastic kit!

Shipping was incredibly fast (like 3 days from Canada to 'Sconsin)

Packaging was great. Everything was securely packaged and bubble wrapped to eliminate any possibility of damage during shipping.

The quality of the parts are great. I'll admit that this would be the first 'real' full carbon fiber piece that I've had first hand experience with so it feels super light but I wasn't concerned about ruining anything. Parts are super light weight and the finish quality is very nice.

The lens covers are fantastic. Perfectly molded and clearly a very high quality finish/edges/etc.

The instructions were included in pdf format and are easy to follow.

Installation process is pretty painless. You don't need any special tools or skills for proper installation. It'll take a brief afternoon to get everything adjusted perfectly flush but it is definitely worth it.
