    Andrew can you help me out with this? I bought the mini D2S Stage III with the Apollo shrouds and 100mm LED rings to fit inside the shroud. However, the ring doesn't fit in the gap well. Does this look OK or is the ring a bit too small? I didn't install the Rings because of this but I would want to do it in the future.

    Mine wasn't perfect either. I tried my best to perfectly align it.

    The same. Just align it best possible then use the stick weld to attach it and fill the gap in there. I think the next size would be too big.

    Really by that much? More than half of the ring would be shining inside the shroud than through the gap lol.

    Here is mine on with the 100mm. You can see it just fine, the phone catches the light odd. It's all the same brightness

    I wonder if they will come up with a ring for the X lens shroud.

    Actually, after taking a closer look, my gap was a tiny but smaller. But once they're on, you can't even tell.

    And I have Apollo 3.0. Maybe that's why

    Anyone have pictures of the 100mm halos inside a original Apollo shroud? Maybe I should get the 3.0 and put them in that like yours.

    So according to the tracking number, my package was sent out on March 26th and were received at the Atlanta GA sorting depot. Then it was sent to the Miami FL sorting depot next, which is the exact opposite direction of Calgary Alberta Canada?! Seems my retro fit pieces are on vacation! Does this seem normal to anyone else??

    It most likely due to shipping routes. Probably getting a flight thru Miami

    Depends on where the shipping hub is.

    If you fly Southwest, you aren't getting to Atlanta without landing in Birmingham and renting a car.
    Likewise, if you want to fly to Vegas from Oakland on some airlines, you may have to make a stop in Phoenix.
    Some airports act as collectors not all airports originate international flights, and not all airlines originate international flights out of all of their airports.

    If I were to ship an overnight package via Fedex to my mom who lives in Oregon and I live in Washington State that package goes to Fedex's hub in Tennessee before it gets to my mom. Shipping companies have their ways.

    What's the setup on this 4Runner? What do I order for my 02 Tacoma to get a similar setup? Do I need to do all this oven baking shiz with your retro kits?

    I used a heat gun...more control really. There are a few more ways to do it, whichever suits your particular talents. You can check out my build if you'd like.
