: Rear bumper reflectors, gotta go!!!

Would there be anyone else out there besides me who would want to cover or delete those bicycle reflector looking things above the exhaust tips? Who will be the first aftermarket supplier to offer inserts for these I wonder.

Any thoughts? :eek2:

Personally I think they are pretty awesome looking.

+1.

I think it would be quite simple to cover them up though. Illegal, I'd bet, but easy. The style of taillamp used on the G8 doesn't have any reflector built into it, which is why they have to integrate the reflectors into the bumper like that.

They don't look all that bad. I might change my mind once I see them in person.

When I looked at SS-V pics, I didn't hardly notice them. On the G8 picks they seem to stand out more. Lighting I guess.

They are a little weird down there, but I think I can get used to them.

The people you really need to ask how they like them are the mustang owners. :gr_devil:

3M makes a black reflective material that a vinyl sign shop should have...might be an alternative to prying the red ones out.

I like em too. Very Euro...it's a touch that you just don't expect on a GM.

I would love to go with clear reflective for the rear but for now I compromised and did a light smoked tint on mine. Still look good and reflect at night. For safety's sake - it may be better to leave them - don't want to be rear ended by someone who didn't see you

HOLY 4 year old post bump lol.

Since it's back at the top now, might as well mention that I am about to start the process of putting a super light coat of VHT on mine right now.

mine are tinted using night shades when i did the rest of the markers on my car. the sun makes them look more red sometimes, but it usually looks like the right side one pretty much a really dark red or black.

I like the oem ones. I even wish they light up.
been thinking of putting led in for brake/turn.

I bought some overlays from GrafxWerks a month after I bought my car and they've held up great for over 2 years. I got the ones that are Reflective Black, black during the day and blends right in, but at night it will reflect white.

I took mine off & Plastidipped them. They use to bug the **** out of me. Although it's supposedly illegal, I love them blacked out! Haven't been pulled over yet & that was a year ago!
