Nice Shirt Bilkins
^King I always enjoy seeing your shots with the NY skyline... I have yet to see it in person, but your pictures are always a nice sight.
Thank you sir!! I think we have similar taste... I do plan to keep the original reflector, just painted black or dark gray. The biggest turn off for me is losing that classic big reflector, but I did try to incorporate it using the Halo to accent it. I definitely will plan on having the accent lights on a separate switch to use as DRLs without having to run all my other lights. I will keep you updated on them!
& enjoy that GT500 steering wheel... you will love it. Huge upgrade over the 05-09 wheel
LOLOL I know.. this pic is already the background on my phone. I want Airlift so bad for the ride quality when driving and the stance when parked. Hopefully in the next year!
Thanks man!! Yeah, the rings serve as a distraction.. I wanted to outline the shape of the OEM headlight bucket so it still has that 05-09 modern-retro flavor. If the projector is super visible and makes the car look bug-eyed, I may put a light tint film over the lens, then it would hide the projector when it's off, but I could run around with just the accent lights shining through... kind of like the 2013 guys who tint their headlights and only the white LED side pipes show through.
ChrisGT, I think that photoshop looks awesome. I wanted to do something like this for a while now, but I am not sure about it and have been on the fence. I really like the "gill" lights that mimic the S550. You don't show it, but I am assuming that you will keep the OEM reflectors; and insert the HID projector in the middle. I think its key to keep the OEM big reflector look with these cars(05 - 09) so as not to mess with the retro look too much. If it were me, I would put the halos and gill accents on a separate switch to serve as DRLs when wanted. If you do this project, please post a thread with pics because I am VERY interested in this. I have already ordered a GT500 steering wheel for my wife to give me for Christmasbased on how yours came out. Keep up the good work man. Love your style.

Chris, I'd have to say no to the projectors, even if they are free. But that stance...
Time to start saving for bags or coilovers.
