Lamin x...tinted overlay that I put on a couple months back.
I started the new retrofit today, I'm not quite sure how I'm going to mount these yet tho. Either going to run some bolts so I can have manual adjusting or jb weld them, so I guess I'll keep messing with them n see what I can come up with.

I also don't know if I should go back to red shrouds or gunmetal grey..I will be painting the reflectors all black this time around though too. Leaning more towards gunmetal this time.
This looks good so far!
Gunmetal shrouds...switch it up a bit or wht about instead of blacking out the reflector since you have no black accent you use gunmetal instead and either keep the shroud chrome or painted.
seeing all of that dust really makes me miss when i did mine. id be sneezing for days
That'll be quite the retro. Can't wait to see it done.
Thanks, going to try n take my time with em..finally got an email back from trs to exchange the angel eyes too, so I have time to figure out which way to goQuote:

I am also starting my Quad Retro. Do you think there will be enough room to clear the lense mounting the FX-R to the reflector?
I'm not too sure yet, it was seeming like a tight fit. I will know more in a couple of days..Quote:

What are you using for the highbeam?? Mini H1?
I have the Apollo 3.0 shrouds..e46 extenders probably would have been easier to fit. I'll go check n snap some pics. And yeah I'm just taking my minis n throwing them in the hi beams. I was going to just buy dummy projectors too but said screw it. What are you going with?Quote:

I did something similar in the Bonneville. FX-R 3.0 for the highbeam, and a dummy FX-R 1.0 for the low beam.
I did the E46 shrouds in the Bonneville because of fitment
Yeah, I knew I seen the e46's used somewhere when I was looking for ideas.. Then I came across this http://www.grandprixforums.net/showthread.php?t=62358Quote:

Take a page out the corvette book all their shrouds come color matched, if I ever feel up too cracking mine open again there the reflector housing and all will be hydrodipped carbon fiber.
Yeah that hydrodipping is pretty sweet..little bit of money and idk who does that around here lol.Quote:

Itll have to be where the 4 mounting holes are since they pop out further than the rest. So pretty much like that other link I just posted. But thats why I just might cut the reflector all off because my shroud would just cover all that missing part anyways.
