Talking Sedan S2000 Projector Retrofit Complete

Well I started Thursday after work and just got done. I figure I have about 15 hours in them including the mod, paint, ect.

S2000 Projectors
Lexus GS430 Shrouds
Color Matched Paint
AAC Demon Eyes (had these before)
PIAA 2500K H4 Fog/HI bulbs (no pics of those yet)

Here are some of the pics I took. I will get some better ones of the final results later this weekend.

Yes I did everything myself. There is a sherwin williams auto paint store a few miles from my house and they matched the factory color in a couple of spray cans for me.

There are a few flaws here and there but for a 1st time job I am very happy with the results (and I'm picky).

Nah, I got done and am quite excited so I have not gone to bed yet. Decided to have a couple IPA's first (beer for the non-beer drinkers here).

Ha....so the 12:30 on the stove clock was about 4.5 hrs. ago for you. I'm kind of the same way....you get excited about getting something done & just stick with it, because you know you wouldn't be able to sleep otherwise. I'm a fan of IPA .

So now that this mod is done...what's in store for you next?

It was just too close to stop. I finished @3:30 and have been up since.

Next I am going to do a set of hood struts, an engine damper, brake master cylinder brace, and SPC rear camber arms. I have all the parts in my garage right now.

Maybe I should get started..... nah time for bed.
