Well I can probably do OEM projectors for around 600; Maybe cheaper if I can find them at a local yard.

But 200 is cheap. I'm just afraid to screw it up or to have shotty craftsmenship because I'm a ****. Can you send me a few links as far as parts, guides, paints, etc?

I used a set of projectors off eBay....they're like $25 bucks now I believe. A true morimoto set (7.0) is like $130 give or take.

Would you be trying the retro on your oem's or getting a second set? The extra set I had was $115 off eBay. (Avatar pic)

Gonna paint them? I used some duplicolor from autozone.

Starting the bed....disregard the lemonade pitcher. I forgot to get a stupid paint tray when I was at lowes. But yes....a paint tray would have made this part easier.

All done....just finished second coat and its still pretty wet here. Not a bad little project for $89. I'll take more pics once it's fully cured.

Looks good! Have you ever used this product before? I read mix reviews on it.

Let us know! The previous owner of my truck had some type of liner sprayed in (maybe rolled) by a company I never heard of and it's starting to be easily peelable. I'm thinking this spring on tackling the job of removing it and either go line x route or this.

Do you have any night time shots of your projector output?
