Painted reflectors

Splinter4784 · 01-08-2009, 09:48 PM

I just ordered Painted Reflectors for my SSII M3 and some Angel Eyes from Mod Bargains

They sent me an email saying that they can not send me the Painted Reflectors because they have not come out yet?

I am still going to get my angel eyes but i am wondering where everyone else got there painted reflectors?

I would appreciate some advice, Thanks

I ordered mine from WheelSTO, check the thread here. They shipped within a few days and look great... just haven't had the time to install them yet. Tried a couple times briefly but I think since its been so cold I'm not able to get any flex to the bumper to get the OEM ones out... anyone in cold weather manage to get theirs out without resorting to a blow dryer etc to warm up the bumper cover?

Most tuning shops do their own. I got mine from Evosport.

Nate@IND · 01-09-2009, 09:56 AM

We have them in stock and ready to ship.

We should have these in stock fairly soon for you guys, they are just finishing production.

I say get the clears for your color car. Or at least know there are other options out there. Here is a thread I started a while back...Good LucK!

I like the clear look. Does anyone have any pics of the smoked lens on Space Grey?

CT-Bimmer · 01-09-2009, 09:52 PM

What do you guys think for Jerez Black..? I have been debating for awhile. Clear or painted?!!?

Painted. I went half way with some of the smoked clears... but didn't care for them. Looked like an area of dark gray against the Jerez. I'm going with painted. I have some smoked clears to sell however.

clear!!

Adonislike · 01-11-2009, 11:20 PM

The clear ones look good

Ryan@IND · 01-11-2009, 11:44 PM

We have them in stock.... Glad to help you out anytime....

you can purchase online HERE

I am liking the clear ones too!

SV Concepts III · 01-12-2009, 12:14 PM

Clear looks really good on dark colors to give it some contrast. If you are doing the blackout theme, then go with Smoke for sure.

We have both types in stock and ready to go

R1alFast · 01-26-2009, 08:25 PM

i like the euro style reflectors = clear....painted is fine...just my opinion

bimmian, IND, wheelsto, if you want just get em painted....

spyderco10 · 01-31-2009, 01:36 AM

get the best of both worlds, one side painted, the other side clear

alpine335i · 01-31-2009, 11:50 AM

I have all of them i have the clear and the painted ones, IMO the clear didn't look right on my car (AW). But i like it on the black.

Realpimp23 · 01-31-2009, 02:27 PM

just get ur original orange one painted at a shop!

Wolf-e92 · 02-01-2009, 07:58 AM

I put clear ones on my SSII and I think it looks great. I like them better than the painted ones I had on my TiAg E46.

FRRSquad · 02-03-2009, 01:47 AM

dont get the clear reflectors... get the painted ones!

Gladius · 02-07-2009, 07:45 PM

Finally got some pix of my smoked ones on SparkG. Not quite sure if I like them or if painted will be better.

tunawi7cheese · 02-07-2009, 08:25 PM

Painted looks better. Or go with clear to match the clear corner from the headlights. IMO. Hmmm...come to think about it, you might have help me decide on getting clear for my Melbourne Red. Your SG looks really good too.
