But as others have stated, the reflectors are not a 100% match as it is quite hard to match MW as it is a 3 layer paint. However, it is pretty darn close and looks a heck of a lot better than the orange reflectors. Most people will not even be able to tell the difference.

Would you post a picture?

I have the IND reflectors, they are not a perfect match but it much better than the orange ones.

I have a MWM F80. I love the chameleon nature of the color. It is metallic pearl at night with ambient light and "more white" in daylight. With the black 19 inch OEM rims, it is quite an attention getter...not that I need more attention, since I am already so awesome! Oh wait...here comes my wife...my head just started deflating.

Nothing wrong with clear reflectors.

Those were "in" long before painted ones, and if mine don't match up well, I'll probably opt for clears.

The stock amber ones look just fine on Sakhir Orange.

I had aw e92 and now mw e93 and i would choose mw every time. It's not as pearly as a Lexus it's still white but at night it looks sooo nice because of the depth it gives which isn't found on aw.

I got the reflectors and at first it didn't look like a good match but now I don't even notice it. It blends in very well after a while and looks much better than the ambers. I would get mw with confidence.

lol. I was going to save it for the "what's up" thread, but I guess since you requested it... Here it is. #2000. I would like to thank all my no-life having friends on bimmerpost (especially Lups ) for helping me reach this worthless milestone. Just further proof that my wife is right when she tells me I waste too much time online when I could be playing with the kids.

Dude you know I take that as a high compliment!

Still, you have no taste when it comes to colors but maybe I not the one to talk.

Take that horrible badge off of her! You drive like a grandma and we don't need the association towards M4's as the slowest thing in the world.

Naw, they aren't out... Hopefully they'll come out.

I'm pretty sure my painted ones that were a gift as part of that IND pack will match. I really haven't seen too many mismatches with the YMB. If that is the case, I'm going to push for a clear to be made. I'm sure there would be some demand.

I had the clear markers on my e93 M3 and will put them on my F80 once they become available...

They look just fine on any color. Not as good as no reflector, but unfortunately that is not an option. Unless you want to change your bumper or fill and repaint.

[Dinh335]

my thought about a mismatched paint reflector is it just looks like a mistake.

an orange reflector stands out more yes, but to me less bothersome as it clearly is a reflector and has purpose no different than a red tail light standing out.

I emailed Nate @ ind about getting a slightly tinted (not fully dark) but semi clear one and will be ordering one (my car is tanzanite) so think it'll be a happy medium.

Not sure what the deal is with the color matching of the IND reflector tabs. I have seen many pix and agree they don't look like 100% match. I wonder if it is the size of the element itself that causes issues. I have amber reflectors and enjoy them as such. I can't say with 100% certainty whether my shop would do a better job than IND at color matching.

I have purchased items from IND, just not the reflector replacement pieces, and have had great service. I gave them first crack at doing the spoiler piece in MW, and they respectfully declined due to color matching issues. I was fine with that.

Here is a shot of M4 rear with M3 lip spoiler installed.

Which shop did you use? We have a MW shop car and nothing seems to match. I want to get some project pieces color matched but I'm worried about the match after ordering our side markers and keyhole delete.

the reason I went with my alpine white is because of the paint match issues if any chips were ever to occur.. I love the alpine white

I'm on my second set of MW IND reflectors (M235) and they can't match the color. First set was a joke, they said it was a bad batch, sent me a new set free of charge and it's only marginally better. They have flakes that are too dark compared to the paint on the car.

@Tiago@VRSF I used Webster Auto Body in Somerville.

Where could I order some side markers and keyhole deletes just primed?
I would give these guys a try on a few items and see how they come out.
Anyone know where to order the parts just primed?

I have mineral white and I love it. YMB was my first choice but my wife had trouble with it, so second choice is MW. When it's clean, it's gorgeous in the sunlight.
