Rear reflectors wrapped with scrapes

shemeld_135 · 04-20-2016, 08:30 PM

What do you guys think about this glossy back wrap for the rear reflectors? I see IND has painted one but wasn't sure if I wanted white to match or black. I had scrap glossy black 3m wrap just to see what the black would look like. Thoughts?

Edit: doesn't look like the mobile uploaded the pic so give me a few to get on the PC

I'd been thinking about doing this, and think it looks quite good

Looks good, i'm going to black plastidip mine and see how that looks.

Was it easy to remove the reflectors?

looks good mate. were you able to tuck the vinyl around the edges without removing the reflectors?I tried a go at wrapping the kidney grilles but messed up the deeper contours so I just got the ind ones and added the reflectors at the same time. Great idea though to save a 100$

Yeah I just used a small plastic pry tool to tuck it in without taking it off

I'm in the minority that likes the red reflectors, especially on white cars. But this looks good to, a photo from further away would probably look even better!

M2OG · 04-21-2016, 03:02 PM

+1 for a wider photo. Curious how it looks relative to the rest of the car.

shemeld_135 · 04-21-2016, 09:51 PM

I'll take one in the morning fellas

Yeah looks like an actual vent from a distance. Still not sure if I want to get aw to match though I think it might look a little cleaner

+1

After seeing these pics, i actually like the stock red reflectors better. Also the stock ones never bothered me to begin with

Posting your pics so peeps don't have to click a link.

Still Unable to see the photo of the reflectors? Do you still have some pictures?

Probably looks better with the Slat option from IND.
