Yea, theres no aftermarket solution. There are companies that will do it, but last time I asked for a simple install I was quoted nearly $1K. Not worth the money IMO.

Ive not seen another CL with projectors yet, but Ive seen a few 2g TLs with retrofits.

retrofits take alot of work, it all depends on what projector you want to go with and to make it work.
