Retrofit DONE!!!!!
Sunday, November 16, 2008 4:11 PM
OK. so. i finally got my Projector retro done on the cav. i used E55's cause i wanted a 3 inch lense. to anyone doing a retro. i recommend NOT using them. they BARELY fit. i wish had used the FX35's like everyobody else does.I also painted my bezels arival blue and love the way they came out. i still need to cut away some sheet metal and reaim the projectors in the housings for them to look and fit the way i want. but so far. im VERY happy with them. and i really missed having HID's and Projectors . anyways. still to come in the next few months

*Paint rims Black again
*Lowering of some sort. still not sure what
*Amber corners (the ones on there are temporary)
*Remove Side mouldings
*New Tint
* Good buffing
*front and rear bumpers are getting repainted also.

anyways on to the @!#$ty cell phone piks

Those came out nice .

Just noting you said you painted them arrival blue but your car is indigo blue, so a bit of confusion there?

haha yeah confusion at its finest. i thought the color was arival blue. but nonetheless. they still match haha. thanks joe. i just need to make them fit better. its bugging me. just to cold to do it. took about 12 hrs to do. which sucked. but ah well it was defineatly worth it.

Arrival Blue, Indigo Blue. How do you mess that up? There is quite a big difference, see...
