IND Mineral White reflectors don't match?

toothpharaoh · 11-01-2014, 02:30 PM

Hey guys just installed these reflectors by IND that I purchased from EAS and is it just me or do they not match? Wondering if anyone else that purchased these got a better match? Thanks!

There's a few other posts about the mineral white reflectors. The paint is really hard to match. I think if you contact IND they'll help you out.

This looks to be from an early batch. Shoot me a pm and we will get a new set shipped out.

I have a MW M3 and I have the same problem. In certain lighting its not as bad but still noticeable. IND told me they did not ship them out when I ordered them in August because they were trying to get a good paint match from a MW M4 bumper. I received them mid September and I feel they just don't match correctly.

Mineral White is a 3 stage pearl and as a result is extremely difficult to match. The other colors offered on the F8X M3/M4 are standard 2 stage metallic and non-metallic paints. No issues.

it matches better than the orange on those daft reflectors you guys have in the US, so smile and be happy....

Dangit I have a MW on order as well!

I know I'm in the minority, but I really don't understand why people hate the reflectors so much. They don't look bad and I think the poor color matching with the MW looks far worse. It looks like a half-assed attempts to hide something. I guess I'm lucky that I don't mind it as I have a MW M4 and I love the MW. Glad I went with it instead of AW.

Anyone have the latest batch of ind mineral white reflectors? How is it?

TheEnrique · 11-22-2014, 01:20 PM

Mine look good not perfect but understandable.

stealth-twntrbo · 11-30-2014, 10:03 AM

I used to have the clear reflectors on my AW 335, is anyone making a clear reflector set? might be a better option than the mismatch painted MW. My MW M4 will be in next week.

Isn't mineral white next to impossible to match due to the 3 stage paint process

It's tough to match without painting the whole bumper (reflecters included) at the same time...not really practical, IMO.

No issues at all. They match beautifully
