Body-Colored Whister'd Lamps on a Pewter car?
I'm planning a HID projector retrofit in the next few months. I have a pewter car, and one of the things I'm debating is whether I want to leave the projector and stock lamps chrome, or whether I'd want to "whistler" either or both to the body color.
I am not really interested in doing a traditional black whistler - it's just not the look I am going for on the car.
Anyone done this or have opinions?

I am leaning towards painting all of the lowbeam bucket pewter, leaving the curved portion of the highbeam bucket chrome (like a standard whistler), and then leaving the projector chrome. The projector will take up most of the lowbeam bucket.
I did manage to find these pics:

Mount the projectors on the housing in a way you can adjust the projector. Mount them on the car on a level surface match that both headlights are level and the projector cut off are both even. Then glue or epoxy the projector to the headlight. After this there no looking back.

Yes mine are different; Im running a TSX projector with the E-46 shroud. The difference between the Morimoto mini and TSX is there cut off and sharpness but the mini's have come a long way from when they were first develop so they can hold there ground; I might eventually do quad projectors and use the minis as my high beams.

Mine's not a DD, and really, isn't driven at night THAT often, so I think the Mini will be easy and make me content. Anything is better than the crappy stockers!

Not really once you get the proper projector alignment you can mount the shroud and cut little by little. There's plenty of shrouds that will work without modification but ultimately it's up to you which one you decided to go with.
