Some things arrived in the mail... I hope to begin the retrofit this weekend if time allows. The Pioneer DD will have to wait till I figure out what I want to do with speakers and sub. Crutchfield was having a sale so I splurged a little.

Sweet.!!!! Any pics of what you trimmed to install the projectors?

Did the eagle eye lights come apart easy?

Do those shrouds have holes in them, i guess I'm asking if I put light between the projector housing and the shroud will it shine through open slots?

Yes they do. You can add halos behind them to light them up, or if you have open style projectors like the MD2S or MH1 it will shine thru. I used hi heat aluminum tape to full enclose the FX-r projects. I didn't want any light shining thru.

Great start to the build!

Finished installing my Belltech 2/3 drop. I had enough time in the day to run down and get an alignment too!

Crappy cellphone pic. I'll do a proper shoot once I condition the paint. Its in bad condition right now.

How do you get your truck to stick like that? Crazy gravity huh?
