Coming along great, nice work! Funny how these shrouds took off in popularity. When I did mine, no one had them or knew what they were. Then like fire everyone's retro is including them. They're definitely badass looking shrouds that are wicked versatile.

Ya I was thinking of doing these for the longest then I saw you use them and saw how sick they actually looked.
I'll post some more pictures when they are finished being painted on the projectors.
Ha ya I'll post pictures when its finished, I should be glueing the lens tomarrow and working on spacing the LED's from the lens. Here is how the LED's look
God dandruff. I need to get out of the desert. Its like everyone is in my head taking my ideas one at a time. That is very very similar to what I wanted to do with the turn signal in the ones you are are making me Aww sheet.
Ya I think I'm going to be the first to do it on a neon
I have a friend in MA with a projector turn signal in his retro. He hasn't finished it yet. It's out of a Mercedes, just not sure which one. He took the headlights when he used to work at a body shop, the lenses were busted but the projectors in them were golden. It's nothing like yours though it uses a regular bulb...this should look badass.
Ok now I think I need some advise, I want the vents of the shroud I made to light up, but using a TL projector, thats not going to happen. So I was thinking of using 4 prewired 5mm LED's to do the job. What do you guys think, do you think it will do the job or should I go with superflux?
Unless you wire them to a separate switch you'll never see them. I put 5mm LEDs in mine and the HID overpowered them so I decided against it and just left it alone. The 5mm's just don't have the light they should and the superfluxes are too fat to fit right (at least they were with my projector). This is a demon eye/putting the leds in the sides. I opted not to do either on the headlights.
