Default my 1st EK retro (tons of pics)

Updates on pg. 2, 4, 5 & 6

well ive decided i wanted retro'd headlights...but i couldnt afford the cost of having it done

1st i started off with stock 99/00 Si headlights


then they were baked at 200 for about 10-15minutes then the outcome was this


then i got these hella projectors and d2s bulbs from a member on here (topdog)


i checked out there cutoffs in the garage with no shrouds (they were not made yet)

here it is at about 5ft



and around 7-8ft



and again around 25-30ft



now keep in mind that is only one projector w. no shroud

i called my buddy (colinproctor on here) over to help w. the shrouds being as he has more patience than i do, and after a few hours of work we have them mocked up and ready to be finished

they started as this



and became this




that is pretty much all i have completed on this project, i have mocked up a location i would like to mount onto the reflector, but not sure if it will work


maybe someone can point me in a good direction as to what i could add to the current shroud to finish it off in the housing, i dont want to have the rear of the projector visible, but i cant find anything to finish it off

please any help/suggestions/guidance or anything is appreciated and thank you in advance
