Default Q45 Swap on Gs Finally Done

I finally finished my projector swap on my GS. Boy was it a B*tch. Its alot harder that it looks. It took me about 7 days to complete working on it 4-5 hours a day. I also took the liberty of opening my clear bumper lights and painting the part that doesnt reflect any light flat black to match my headlights. Ill post pics of them on the car when I put them back on.

Looks good. I guess this makes you the 1st member in the U.S. that has retrofitted Q45 projectors into a GS?

I didnt follow the diy. Im not that incline to custom make brackets or get carbon fiber trim. I think there is another Gs I seen in the gallery that was black too. It was also twin turbo i think. I have to wait for the body shop to do it it has been raining bad here because of the Tropical storm. Lucky for me that this was an extra set of headlights. Ill post pics when I put them back.

Dont worry ill post some pics. Im having problems sealing off the back. My orignal plan did not fit. I put it on the car and it did not fit so im back to the drawing board. I should have them fixed in another 2 days.
