LBB Vinyl

Anyone been able to source vinyl that is a close match to LBB? I'd love to pick some up to cover up the front reflectors. Can't stand it but not willing to spend $170 for the iND replacements

Problem you'll get is over time the sun will bleach the colour out of Vinyl, have you considered blacking them out or just on bonkers and purchase / spray a euro spec front bumper.

Just get them painted, that's what I did, fraction of the cost.

Bought a couple samples, this was the closest match. It's a little too blue in light but the metallic qualities are similar. From a distance hard to tell, up close and in the shade you can see the difference more.

I just took it to my local bodyshop guy. Just provide your paint code (LBB is C16), they should be able to match it perfectly.

Reflectors are there for a reason. I'm always amazed that people do this. I rather the other drivers saw me than some silly mod like this.

If they don't see your headlights, there's a good chance they're not going to see the reflectors.

No. These reflectors are dumb and only used in the US for compliance to an outdated requirement.
