I didn't put an extension on. Still contemplating whether or not I am going to put extensions on though.

Think the kit from trs that doesn't require major mods is your best bet. Think it's the morimoto h1 mini. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/com...l#.UtmhYqY8LCQ

It is by far the easiest install but not as good as the full retrofit fxr. But still an amazing choice

Quick question, how are you guys attaching your shrouds to the projector? I've heard JB weld, is that the common method?

Yup. Go light though so if ever needed you can rip it off

Thanks Yuke. It makes me nervous working so close to the lens! Maybe I will tape it off just in case.

I used black gasket adhesive.

Has a strong bond but *can* be ripped off if need be. But it can be messy if you're not careful.
