I went with another set of the much loved 2 second warm up Denso Ballast. I suggest you seal them around the gaps for a more water resistant housing. U don't want water to stay inside and cause any longevity damage. qemevunu.jpg

If you guys look at the projector in this last picture closely, you'll see a bunch of swirls. This is what a very fresnel lense looks like, that distorts a bunch of light. Aesthetics wise you can go that route but If you want output.....RETROFIT!!

Looks great, glad your retro was less eventful than mine. Did you make shroud extensions for the the G37's or just plop them in?

In case you guys didnt know he did all this with the use of only one hand. Knowing how much is involved I wouldnt have even attempted it in your shoes, hats off to you bro ! :hail:

Looks good... Plasti Dip the wheels?
yep, sure did. Used a trash bag, take a knife and split it so you can use to cover rotors, then spray at it. I cut out the "SVT" and sprayed the lugs. -Thanks!

this is the trimming I done to it...su6eguqa.jpg
Before paint of courseda9u7e7u.jpg
I ordered the stage IV kit via TRS. U can ask for the hub-centric rings. They just pop in. The paint takes forever. Used a promoter, paint, gloss. I painted all day Saturday between all the coats to ensure a great finish for years (hopefully,lol).

Killer job !

Thanks bro, I appreciate all the kind references/links as well as the offer to open them up for me. AND YEAAaaaa, you rite!! It WAS a process with having paralysis on my predominate (right side), but between research.....my high standards.....and goals set.....it can always be done. Life's about ADAPTATION. .......... Between all your finished retrofitted pictures, you made my retrofit goal happen, Thank you! Couldn't have given me enough confidence to go for it again buddy.

Thats very impressive, huge props to that.

Thanks for all the great comments. It was a fun project.
