Great job! Although, I have no interest in the non-pop up style lights, I gotta give you mad props for the development of these. I've thoroughly enjoyed this thread and I can't wait to see these painted and installed on a bunch of cars..

Just want to say that these are awesome and that George is great - very accomodating and always quick to respond to any questions. 
Can't wait to install mine.

BIG update: Mounted pics!!
Finally all the components are in!! I decided to test the fitment on my daily driver to ensure the fitment will be good. The demo car had some body work done on it by the previous owner and I wanted to make sure there wasn’t any discrepancies in panel alignment.
This is roughly what it will look like as you assemble it:
Mounted projector/frame assembly. The joints are tab-welded for additional strength (this is the welding equivalent of a dovetail joint)
Shroud mounted:
Note: the shroud is a prototype shroud specifically formed and cut for fitment testing. The final shroud will be perfectly smooth like the lens.
Lens installed (not bolted on in these test shots)
Santa likes the clean lines:
Low beam testing on: 55w 6000K bulb
Beam pattern with lens. Note minimal distortion of cutoff with thee high quality main lens optics. Low beam width is Aproxx 110 degrees. Significantly wider than expected with the shroud installed.
Halo option:
Off:
On (shop lights on):
shop lights off
Halos with Low beams: shop lights off:
I was not able to get output pics outdoors today because of rain (I’m not getting my nice shiny camera wet)
I recently received the first projectors for the GP spot saver program along with a set of HIR bulbs that I will be testing tomorrow. I will be mounting a complete set of these lights for the first time on my car for a road test on Monday evening. I will begin the official GP at that time and update as I’m able to test various options.
