So I decided to get started on a retro for my FG2. My bro had a S2k projector that he got about a year ago or more. So i decided to hunt down another single SK2 on ebay and found one.
Here are some pics of the baking of the S2K's

Then my bro and I trimmed the S2K's:

I also found a set of OEM headlights on craigs and decided to use this reflector as my guinea pig.

Then after a couple of days I got my parts from Matt at theretrofitsource.com
(everybody should buy some him!) He even gave me a deal on E46-R shrouds and TSX-R clear lenses because I had to wait a couple of days for new Denso ballasts that he didn't have in stock. So I got the harness today and tested the stock S2K and then with the TSX-R lenses. Here are some pics:

And here's a blurry pic about 30 feet or so:

Now I'm not to sure how or what would be the best way to trim the E-46R shrouds. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
I had done another TSX retro a couple years ago on my 01 Civic. Here's the only pic i have left of them:
