good to see somebody doing the 04-08s, seeing a lot of people asking about it

I was looking to see if Bil was doing the 04-08's because I had happen to stumble upon his stuff first, but unfortunately wasn't. Tux does pretty good work from what I have seen though.

I was in the same boat as you, then decided to try my hand at retrofitting myself. It didn't go over so well...I ended up cracking one of my reflector bowls trying to "clock" my projector.

Now I'm waiting on Tux to finish my lights up for me. I have the utmost faith in him, his build quality is just as great as Bils.

I was thinking about doing mine this summer because I want to get the Oracle Rings put in mine. Didn't think it would be too hard

Yeah it's not too terribly hard. I just don't have the patience for that sorta thing... Tux should be posting pics of his first completed 04-08 retro soon if I'm not mistaken. Looking forward to the end result!

Patience is key, I can't even count the times I THOUGHT about throwing my dremmel across the room, bursting in curse workds, kicking a headlight, throwing a projector etc. Well I might have cursed once or twice good thing I had the help of a friend to finish. I love the way that mine turned out

That's a bold statement considering you've never owned either of their products.

Isn't it suppose to take close to 10 hours if you take your time and do everything the right way?
