need your opinion

[ASTIG]

I'm almost done with my new projector retro, but i need your opinions.

should I leave the back plate bare aluminum or should I paint it black? Im leaning more towards painting it black. I would leave the projector shroud silver though.

one more thing. clear the corner or leave it? Btw, my tails are the aspire tails (with the amber turn signals). I am also relocating the city light into the high beam reflector.

here's what she looks like right now.

I'm actually diggin' the silver bezel. but black looks good too. Since you got the Aspire tails, you should keep the corners amber.

I'll write up a tutorial when I get done.

[fatal1]

[NuYoRiCaN]

Paint it Black

[SkylineG1]

Well since your G is silver I say go with silver. Keep the amber.

[4g63lover]

Well since your G is silver I saw go with silver. Keep the amber.

[ASTIG]

still got them. they've held up very well.

keep the amber to match your tails but paint the plate black. i am about to do the same thing (projector retro). what projector and shroud did you use? also if you haven't allready, look at my tutorial on wiring for the diode/relay trick to keep the low beam on when the hi beam is activated.

I used a tsx projector. the bezel is from a chrysler crossfire.

[alexvr]

looks great, post pics when ur done painting them!! also the tutorial, can those be adjusted?

[underated]

damn you dont waste any time haha looks good so far

your next project should be to make some cibie housings... i'd buy a set of those

[ASTIG]

yes they can be fully adjusted. stock adjustments are used. And no cutting of the housing is involved. The projector is mounted on the reflector.

I am planning on replacing the city light with a stronger wattage bulb so I can have a DRL of some sort.

very doable.

WHen I am done with this, I am going to try the "cibie" style on my old projectors. I might even do it in CF.

[alexvr]

you are the man Astig your headlight projects are sick

[racesnos]

i totally also want to see a tutorial. what kind of projectors are those? Also i will have to agree that the back should be black and shrouds should be silver. looks really good! very clean! A++

so damn true. i think I've spent too much in the last 2 weeks. and still got more to go. :cry:

wasnt able to finish off the driver's projector today. gotta finish putting in my hardwood floors to score some points with the mrs. hhehe.

the projector i am using is an acura tsx projector.

OMG hardwood floors... have fun. i did that in my old house and it was a pain... i did 3 rooms and a hallway in parquet (toungue and groove) over concrete. took me 2 weeks but i saved close to $5K doing it myself. your wife will let you do whatever you want if you pull that off.

hardwood floors are difficult to install, but very nice in the end!

b.t.w. TSX projectors are the ish!!!

[ASTIG]

found some time this evening to redo the plate and paint it. I was installing my hardwood floors until midnight and was up at 6. 2 bedrooms done. One more to go.

The left side is about 90% complete. Here are some progress pics.
