did you just dremel out the shrouds? Do you have to paint it or do you think it could work out to keep the chrome?

yea i just dremeled out the shroud. You'll definitely have to repaint it. I saw a chrome paint when i was at pep boys. I haven't tried it, but it might give you that chrome look.

^Thanks for the help. I just bought a second set of headlights today and I'm sure I'll have more questions before my project is complete.

I'm jealous to say the least

I'd seriously be willing to pay some $$$ in the future for this type of work.

I'm wondering what you think I should do. I have a OB coupe with the exact same hood as you. I'm trying to decide if I should paint my headlights a matte or a gloss black when I finish my quad retrofit.

I would say Gloss Black because your car is OB and already glossy.

How did you modify the projector/headlight housing in order to get it to fit? Also what did you use to fabricate the brackets? It's hard to see in the pictures. Thanks.
