Painted Front Reflectors... let's see those pics

STLBT · 07-09-2024, 02:07 PM

On the fence of going the painted reflector route. Just looking to see who all has done it and try to get some pics gathered.

Thanks in advance.

Here's another option. I tinted my reflectors the same as my windows.

Appreciate the responses. I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger. The orange reflector really stands out when everything else on my car is white, black or red.

Make me want to do mines, would probably tint as well

Every car I get the reflector is the first thing I change. I personally just bought the IND paint matched. They use OEM.
I actually just sold my old dirty reflectors on eBay believe it or not lol. Made some money back

Pulled the trigger. Much cleaner.

BWilson263 · 07-18-2024, 04:09 AM

Looks good.

What does everyone recommend? There are options on eBay. Not sure which ones are better than the other.

Thanks
