Reflectors on the rear bumper...
So what is everyone gonna do with them? I recently saw painted ones on this pic on IND instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BE-EubIQ...en-by=indstyle
I think its a clean look that would likely look even better on bsm or mg, but I recall some early photoshops that removed them entirely so they looked like vents. I really liked it, but can anyone tell us what it looks like behind the reflectors? |

To my knowledge late model cars registered in the US have reflectors on the side and rear. If they are not visible then they are incoporated in the light housing.

We offer Acexxon rear reflector inserts that look similar to vents. Of course we also sell our painted OEM rear reflectors. Here is a DIY on how to install them, you can see what is behind the reflector once taken out at the 2 min and 30 sec mark.

http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1489020 If you just remove the reflectors you'll see 3 holes where the they clip in. The rest is still bumper. Even if you decide to cut it out I don't think you'll get any gains from drag since that area is covered by the wheel well guard and also the plastic panel below. |
