    here's an update regarding this retro i'm going to be doing. prior to placing my order with Matt, i had asked how it compared to the fx setup. he sent me this pics. now keep in mind, the width IS smaller than the fx. so if you want a crazy wide setup, then these may not be what you are looking for

    got the parts all in. starting the retro!! decided at the last minute to paint the stock reflector a flat black. i'll post pics later of my progress.

    yes, progress will be slightly slow, due to me working 4 - 12 hour shifts at work. won't be able to dedicate time to this til thursday. hopefully, however i will have my rock sliders to paint on thursday as well. i'll be busy this next weekend :D

    I got the d2s version. They use real hid bulbs, not a rebased one like the h1
