I'm working it out so that they'll have my car for testing because I'll be in Vegas on business the week of the 15th through the 21st. So they should have enough time to test these new shrouds out. I believe Pete is working out the details with the fabricators.
New shroud pics. These are not the finished product and no we have no ETA on when they will be done.
I like them so far
Those look nice! How do you think these will fit with the HALOs I installed? If they are close I can always trim. This would fit my bill as I don't want the headlight shells showing, should clean up the lines nicely. Great work! I am thinking of playing around and making my own, just to see if I can! Maybe start with the old shrouds and begin modification/fit work. Who knows maybe I will have an alternate guys like!

Are the new stop plates adjustable? It looks like the left light is sitting lower giving it a derp face...
But as far as the shrouds go, they look great
You know I questioned that myself, I actually asked Michael about that. If in fact they are adjustable even a bit, it will be nearly impossible to make the shrouds perfect for everyone unless they tweak their lights a bit. I'll wait until Michael gets them and we'll go from there.
The left side may be lower because of where I placed the stop points on the anti-rattle tabs. That's not because of the stop plates, though. Both sides can actually go much higher if I put the anti-rattle tabs all the way back, but doing so would not account for the anti-rattle balance bars that come with the kit and the lights would rattle like crazy.
However, they had to mess with the lights and readjust some stuff while they were testing the shrouds, so they may have messed up my alignment. I'll realign them when the car goes back for final product fitting.
I saw these in person and they do look quite good.
