Hey, thanks. The outside I painted with high gloss black, the center part was plastidip and the logo was high gloss gray.

Nice, love the combo. I'm trying to decide what to do with my grille to match my satin black headlights...

Those look really nice. I just install some for my 05 (non-projector) about a month ago. Love the black on silver look.
Just a side note, I added a little extra to make sure they were super sealed. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Not sure if it was needed, but I read that it was a good precaution.

I have come to the same conclusion and would love a set of these for my 2006 SE. Has anyone here put them on a SE? Would love to here about your results.

Can you show a pic of the light pattern it throws? Any noticeable difference from stock?

I'll try and remember tonight. Now, I never ran the OEM bulbs in these projectors but with HIDs in them I don't think they compare to the OEM housings/lighting. I'll get one at night.

just to put it out there, the op was referring to the lights from dt moto which supposedly have projectors made with german componets & are slightly better quality than depo, & others. ive had at least 3 different brands of aftermarket ones on the 4r & imo, these are very close in quality to OEM, just hope the UV coating lasts as long & doesnt start peeling off after a year. that said its best to run a bead of silicone on any aftermarket lights before install just to play it safe.

Still digging mine. I even took a hard rock strike from a cement truck on the highway, and the lens didn't even scratch. Lots of rain with no moisture in the lenses. Very happy so far.

Those are all the pics I have of the grill project. Thanks for the kind words. Wasn't too bad at all. I started with a eBay special. Cut everything out with a body saw. Glassed the sides and body filler to smooth everything out. I wanted to keep the trim on the bumper for a cleaner look. Trimmed the grill down to fit height wise, then did the same to the metal bracket. Glassed everything together. Had to fab a rod for the secondary release. Used a rod from a dei door lock actuator. Customcargrilles for the mesh xl diamond mesh I painted satin black w/ etching primer. I can snap some more pics if you need. Shoot me a pm with any ?'s
