I'm confused.....

The Civic projector idea looks like an awesome project to tackle, but what I don't get is why some people had to do more cutting, grinding, etc. than another. I mean, you have Greg here:

....who seems like all he did was cut and grind the lenses a little bit to get them to fit whereas you have Neil (Didlin) here:
http://www.evilyeti.com/projectors/
...who cut the lenses, the projector housing, the bumper, the re-bar, the fender, the front of the engine bay, etc. Yikess!!
And then there's Nope-mx3's project as well here: http://www.teamsts.no/gallery2/main.php/v/mx3_update/ Not sure how much cutting was done based on the pics, but it looks like only the lights were cut once again rather than cutting the re-bar, bumper, etc.
My point being: just how difficult is this project to tackle? If it's as easy as Greg makes it seem to be, then I'd be all for it. But the amount of cutting and hacking that Neil went through makes me think twice about the whole idea. I don't want to have to chop away at the rest of the car if I don't have to, especially to a degree that extensive.
Is there a big difference in fittiment dimensions depending on the year of our cars? I'm mostly just wondering why one person's projector job required so much more work than the other guy's, even though they're the same projector units???
