What do you guys think of my project?

Its taken me months to gather all these parts together and assemble it to look like this:









I haven't sealed everything back yet and haven't glued the shroud to the tsx projectors but that is what its gonna look like.


Tell me your thoughts.

I love the e46 shroud. You should've left the shroud and high beam chrome. Maybe you like the stealth look, but i prefer some chrome to make it a little flashy. BTW I hope you used high temp paint.

the chrome is very easy to scratch and rub off so it was hard to handle. And yeah i like the stealth look =). And no fogs either T. hardly any fog here. Damn i didn't think about the high temp paint... Ill ask around and see if i absolute need it. thanks for the heads up.

i did a blackhousing before and i didn't use high temp paint and the cover hazed up permanently due to the chemical reaction and heat. I would repaint it since you haven't sealed them yet. better now or you'll regret it later.

I would have used high temp paint so the heat from the projector does not hurt the area around it. My S2000 retrofit had a problem when I first did it.

As for painting the lower reflector, what about when you do need light above the cutoff, like driving in the mountains? Now you are SOL. I use mine all the time. How about when you need to flash another car? Agin you are SOL. I just don't get why you would paint it. But to each their own.
