Modbargains vs. JLeviSW painted reflector
Does anyone have a perspective on which one of these suppiers has a better painted reflector.
JLeviSW emphasises that they use OEM reflector as a base. This is great that its an OEM part, but the OEM reflector sticks up very slightly from the surface of the bumper so it will likely not be a flush fit against the surface of the car. I don't know anything about the modbargains version but from the pictures it looks like a different part so it may not be an OEM reflector. If this means it sits flat to the surface, then I would prefer that. Anyone with these reflectors able to comment on how flat they sit to the bumper surface?

I got the one from modbargain and it sits flush. Only complaint here is the paint is slightly off, at least the ones I got. Attached a pic here so you can judge for yourself.

In the photo the paint match looks very good. Is it very noticeable in person?

I just received them today painted dark graphite metallic. Will inspect and install and let you all know. Got them from mod bargains.

Great. Thanks. If the paint match and fit is good, I will go mod bargains too. Flush fit trumps OEM part imo.
