My first attempt at a retro (top location)

I decided to try to do this myself, did a lot of research and it didnt really look too hard...I'm using Morimoto minis with e46r shrouds..I'm at about 4 hours so far and i'm still mocking up the first one...i'm trying to get everything figured out on the first one, so i'll be completely ready for the second..enjoy some pics guys, oh btw i'll be wetsanding and reclearing the lens before everything comes back together

You should keep them hidden behind your bumper

What did you use to re-clear the headlights? I'm sick of polishing mine.

Also, do you have a cutoff shot?

Looks very clean, nice work! Got any pics of the cutoff? Are the deflectors motorized?

Nicely done! Adjustment looks on point. Great job Reaper.

Out of curiosity, what was your out of pocket cost for the retro fit? (if you don't mind my asking)

And, I too am interested in how you recleared your lenses. They look new.
