retrofitting projectors into 98-02 camaro...

so I just got back from my 1 year Iraq deployment and the first thing I wanted to tackle was the projector retrofit into my camaro ss. I ordered it from the retrofitsource.com andgot TSX projectors with gen III Matsu****a ballasts and 6000K D2S Bulbs. I made it to the point of a 'rough fit' tonight, worked for about 3 1/2 hours. the shroud I used was called the 'ocular' shroud. When I finished the rough fit, the shroud makes the car appear to have a halo but without actually having one. reminds me of the new camaro with RS package... It is very cool looking in person, but was so hard to capture with a camera, but I got decent shots. Keep in mind, the bulbs in the picture are not the D2S Bulbs, they are the 9006 hid bulbs I had still on the car, just sitting in there. The passenger side, as you can see, is just throwing the light everywhere, while the projector is just aiming it neatly. Here's a few snapshots. What do you guys think? Bear in mind that I am going to paint more black on them, and polish the lenses when I am done. Also notice my new SLP grill, had to replace that billet grill.

FINISHED!!! By the way, is this site dead? I thought this would gain a little more interest than ZERO responses... oh well.

That looks awesome! Any plans to paint the projector housing black to match the rest of the headlight? They look like they stand out alot the way they are now. In any case nice job
