    Finally finished this mod!!!!! have to say way harder then it seemed,a lot of trial and error.I could’ve done better,diddnt know it would take this long for me (2days) I scratched my lens while reassembling that sucked,also its hard to keep it in a dust free Zone.

    I like it.just wish i had a more professional installed look.If you ask if id do it again…..maybe.

    Overall: Good from far but far from good

    Heres some “good angle” pics

    Took a while to understand what I was doing but as long as your projector is leveled before you seal it up you should be fine. So basically rotating the projector till you get a leveled light output,tighten it to make sure it doesn't move. Then I adjusted the height and horizontal distance they way the factor does it.
