Well, if you know what you're doing, this is the way to go. I'm a sucker for projectors with HID's.

If you seal your headlights right, it will not get foggy. I never have that problem with my retro.

Let him believe what he will. This is the best way to go in my opinion. you cant beat a well executed headlight retro. it beats any aftermarket headlight on the market today in both style and performance. Anyone can call a retro rice, for all I care but, that will be what i'll be rocking on my ride.

update:

driver side shroud is painted and clear coated. will post pics soon. started the passenger's side shroud, will be shaping the bondo tonite.

My friend, I hope you're refering to Kit users as ricer. Retrofiting uses genuine OEM parts from high end cars. So, you would say that HID parts from BMW, Acura, Lexus, etc are more rice than these aftermarket kits and halogen projectors?

I've always admired those that can do this. I'm getting more jealous each time I see another retro. Very nice job on making the shroud fit in the headlights so perfectly.

is it me or your lame for making such a broad statement. you use the the word rice so loosely and didn't take a moment to think. since when is seeing better at night considered rice?? there's nothing race inspired about that retro fitting. but your so lame so you cant tell the difference. its so easy for a no talent having chumps such as yourself to tear apart and flame other peoples hard work. this is definitely not the place for you to do so.


to the rest of sl : sorry.some punks never learn to respect one another so i had to getem

by the way nice and clean job on the shroud bembowe. looks good so far
