The guy who owns the shop is driving through DC on Friday or Saturday ... we're going to meet and he's going to have a lot of different options/combinations for me to see in addition to going through Matt's proposed package.
We haven't gone through a timeline as it will depend on the final system build, but it looks somewhere around one to two weeks.
I'll pass along more details as I get them myself.
Also I was going to ask him to take some pics for me of the build so I can share them with you guys.

Updates anyone?

Was just about to ask what you ended up doing with the headlights.
I saw that HIDguy sells a set of angel eyes. i wonder how those are.

Projector headlights pretty much look good. Its their light output thats crap.

Yup, I got the angel eyes on right now whilst the oems are getting retroed ... even with hids in them the light output is barely passable. In my case, they're putting out a sort of a V pattern from each side resulting in a W like pattern.
Like sumo, I had to make a decision as to which housings to retrofit, and we both chose to do the oems ... my reason being that they are a higher quality housing in both fit and finish.

I plan on leaving the bottom drl and turn signals alone. Don't want to black them out and loose light. Not to mention i need something to match the grill.
Looks amazing in black sumo. 
Those rectangularish black bits, are those the solenoids?

Oh wait, those look like the reflectors ... don't you need those for inspection?

Which ones you talking about? The solinods are in the projectors. Can't be seen, but ill post a pic later. The wires off the projectors lead to the solenoid. What you guys think? Paint the cutoff shield? I was thinking red so it gives a red look the the lens. Kinda like a terminator look.
