Decided to mount them without the lenses on my car for a look and think they look alot more aggressive than my current A6/A4 set. Now im debating whether I should keep them or not lol theyre going to look great.

Thought about every possibility shrouds, bezels, etc. With my retros I try to make the project look as oem as possible. The reason I didnt not tilt the shroud because the tilt would have left the shroud exposed on the inside corners. When looking directly at the lights head on up close you would see it. The way it is now you cannot even though if you crouched down and really looked you could see the bottom of it just a tad but not noticeable if you arent looking for it.

In all honesty because the GS headlight is so big you wont be able to tell rather is glossy or satin once the lenses go over it, its a bit shiny in itself.

I'm Done!
Alright so put the lenses on and finished up tonight/this morning. I had the gloss coat on but didnt like it so painted back satin but as I said previously with lenses on you cant tell. Couldnt take any pics on the car because I needed my car to drive and got home pretty late. Tomorrow I will put back on, take day shots then get night pics of cutoff, spread, output, etc.
