Default Retrofit FX35 Projectors. Which shroud to use?

Hey guys,
I am trying to complete a retrofit with a friend and we are stuck on figuring out which shroud would look best on the low beam. The headlights are painted a dark gray (gunmetal color)

I am thinking to go with the Apollo Shrouds from the retrofit source:



or the Gatling Gun shrouds (from what i read on other forums, they are a PITA to install. But with the amount of space on the low beam of the GS headlight, I don't think it would be a problem



or finally the E46-R bezels


Thanks!

I went with the Apollo's as well with the same projectors. I picked them becasue they looked the most OEM.

I agree, I was included to purchase them but wanted to see some examples. I think I will get the Apollo as well.

E46's are nice but they have a flat spot so they don't fit some housings. They only fit when the projector is closer to the top or bottom of the housing so you can hide the flat spot.

We used something similar to the Apollo, we have both types in stock.
