    Hey did you clear coat over the VHT tint?.. I did the same thing and I have a film on the inside of the lenses by the Tinited areas when it gets hot out. I was gonna clear coat it to see if it fixed the problem.

    I dont remember if I cleared them... I want to say I did. Im going to make a guess and say yours didn't dry all the way before you installed them back in...

    :jerkoff: I like it... im still deciding if i should paint the reflector bowl black or keep it chrome finished... so many decisions.

    Hmmm maybe i should pick up some eyelids... I like these since I doesnt cover alot of the headlight... i wanna show off these projectors!

    Thanks you so much for organizing this. Really looking forward to having them installed for my drive across the country.

    Now let's get that order quantity to 25....

    Yeah, no excuse now to have those shite "HID" Drop In Kits.

    Caught myself counting the number of cars with them last night while I was driving. Got to 16 over a 30 mile drive. WTF?

    Not to big on the "smurf blue" thing.

    I got Gatling so I guess I'm leaving it chrome... not that I dont like your opinion but why do you think Apollo should be black and Gatling should be chrome?...

    I feel If i painted my lights all black it would look dumb since my reflectors are all ready black.

    Hey guys, here's the latest and greatest from the guys at TRS
    ********************************************************************
    Also, would like to update the guys who already ordered - they likely all got some kind of shipping notification today w/ tracking numbers for their orders - but that's just indicating what the tracking number will be when the kits actually do ship out. We're expecting a ship date of Friday-Monday for everybody.

    Also, this is going to be the recommended retrofitting procedure for the FX-R kits:
    http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?37877-How-To-Do-a-Retrofit

    Recommended for the Mini D2S kits (everything else except for projector mounting can follow the FX-R how to)
    http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?38222-How-To-Install-Morimoto-Stage-II-D2S-Kit

    Lastly, some output shots and Taco headlight shots provided by customers to help people decide what they like:
    http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/album.php?albumid=224 (FX-R)
    http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/album.php?albumid=225 (Mini D2S)

    Thanks again, you've been a big help.

    **********************************************************
    Hes got around 17-18 orders so far! Keep them coming people!!!
    Hope you guys are as excited as I am! haha...
