To Finish or To Sell
ok so recently ive been trying to do this project for about a week now and im not sure if i should finish or sell it.
its a fog light retrofit with 2002 audi a6 projectors i got at a junk yard for 5 dollars for the pair.
i had 2 sets of fogs and broke out the glass to put acrylic molds in. but everytime i cut the molds they break because i dont have the right tools and im having a hard time trying to aim them right
what do you guys think?

Use Quiksteel to seal up any holes. It's a putty epoxy and withstands heat up to five hundred degrees.
Now I'd definitely mask off those lenses and paint everything black but that's just me. If these were baked open, don't forget to put more butyl sealant in, then throw those lenses on and bake them back together.
Nice work!

it took me litteraly 2 days, now before you flame me they ARE NOT DONE at all not even close i plan on quad retroing thats right 4 projectors! lol and buying some angel eyes for them and making a custom shroud. the projectors in them are j30s and they work very well for me very cheap to and i like the cut off.
![](http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z469/Louis_Cordero/New%20Retrofits/IMG_20110711_214808.jpg)
ive also found some fun stuff to mess with at my local bone yard like rare 97-99 plastic clear headlights need to be clean but in great shape
![](http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z469/Louis_Cordero/New%20Retrofits/IMG_20110724_010722.jpg)

![](http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z469/Louis_Cordero/New%20Retrofits/IMG_20110724_010924.jpg)

and i was also able to get a new set of 95-96 fogs maybe i will retro them to
