What about clears and orange reflectors?

[325xi-SteelGray]

I can honestly say I did a search and couldn't find the answer...

What have other people done with their orange reflectors on the front bumper after installing corner clears? (Aside from leaving them orange...) I seem to remember people painting them? If so, where? Can you buy refective clear ones? Do they simple stick on with glue? If painting them, are they easy enough to remove?

Thank you!

You can buy pre-painted reflectors from a couple of sources. I've always had good luck with evosport.com. That's where I got mine from. Or you could always pop out your current ones (or buy an extra pair from your dealer) and have them painted at a body shop to match. The convenience of having them arrive at my door is why I bought from evosport.

BTW, the clear ones are horrible--crappy quality (non-OEM) and non-reflective. They break REALLY easily.

Here's my painted reflectors:

Let's see:

4 months @ 31 days, 2 months @ 30 days = 184 days

184 * 24 = 4,416 hours

4,416 * 60 = 264,960 minutes :yikes: :bawling:

Probably shouldn't mention the 3 to 4 week delay (for some unknown reason that will occur) or the extra 10 days to ship it to the west coast :mad:

FYI that would equate to ~ 500 Prozac fro Haus:bigpimp:

So you're saying ~ 3 Prozac per day ? Geez, that's more than Al's daily dose :D

Good point, Haus will probably start out at 3/day and by mid October should be up to twice the maximum daily allowance:eeps:

We must remember that Alee is an extreme exception to normal BMW owner behavior so its hard to gauge from him.:p :yikes:

I'd say Haus will have the final word, of course if he'll be able to speak after that much of Prozac :D

I really appreciate it. I installed the corner clears on my 325xi and the 330ci shouldn't be too bad - I just wasn't sure what to do with the terrible reflectors!

My mods are slow to come these days as I am not working... Too bad huh? Just when you have all the free time in the world you have no money! :) Ahh, the breaks!
