From that angle you more than likely won't see the shields as the projectors if E55s are like 4" deep and if FX or TLs are even longer.

You can also take duct tape or aluminum tape and just roll it around the outside of the projector to mask all the light in so you don't have any "bleeding light". Then the shroud covers up all the not so pretty stuff.

ya i just think there are prettier ways to go about it. but i know these things are not cheap to build, and even more to have someone do for you, so extra time and material can add up quick.

because we used e55 bezels AND i now have a matte black housing, light bleed should be negligible. Ill post pics when up and running.
