I am trying to decide if I want to leave the projector body's black or paint them EB to match the shroud and body color. Decisions, decisions.

I think the black shroud would definitely be a more aggressive look!
Painting it Electron Blue would give it more contemporary look a` la c6. Personally, I would go this way, but it's your Vette and your decision.
How bout George give us the look of the shrouds both ways.
Maybe he could do a local install on a non-black Vette and post some photos.

George I have said it before and will say it again... you suck 
! I go out and get your light cannons and then you make these incredible lights! You are unbelievable... I am nearly tempted to spend more money on these but then I would miss out on the next incredible product you come out with! Nice work again!
I can't wait to see your finished product, they look great.

If you want to sure. The only problem is that the lens is specifically designed around (and bolts to) the shroud. What were you thinking of doing?
Well there's pop up and fixed. This project will conclude my crazy-assed-awesome headlight tinkering. Feel free to write me a check

I am not so sure about that. You will probably come up with something to turn night into day without blinding people.

Those are the lowest-profile replacements yet, for sure.
Now if Double D will finish kitting up that new front fascia with the C6 marker lights, I'll be set.

Have you done any testing for any heat issues? Would we have to have special paint on the fiberglass piece to handle the heat output by the lights? I don't know anything about paint or fiberglass just making sure all bases are covered.

ABS is flexable and may grow/shrink slightly with significant temperature changes. As long as your painter uses a good primer and paint i don't forsee much of a problem. Previous paint on ABS tests have shown that even rattle can paint doesn't flake, crack or chip without severe deformation of the ABS.

Absolutely amazing work you're doing. I definitely admire it--but I do want to voice my concern about the brightness and angles you're using. I hope this doesn't end in a flame war but there are a LOT of ricers here in florida that have rediculously bright HID's in their ****box aimed directly into my mirrors to burn my retna. It's like staring at the sun when i try to drive home.

How easy would it be to "add" to the shroud? E.g. could I use glass or body filler to build a cover over the back of the light from the beauty ring to the top of the "tube" in your shroud? To my taste, that would make the shroud about a 9/10
