Black is a lot easier to match than YMB.

I think all the colors for the F8X have been matched pretty well by IND. The only color which is an issue, and I've yet to see a properly matched one, is Mineral White. I even had my car at their workshop at one point to install a few parts and they couldn't get it to match. That's not to say anything bad about IND, I've loved their service and product quality, but for some reason they can't seem to match MW (one reason is that the color seems to differ from one car to the other out of the factory).

Same, though I went with black horizontal at the back. IND is top notch!

Actually, in that picture, it doesn't seem to be a good match. A good match would be where they would blend in perfectly; your seem to stand out from surrounding paint. The two posters above do seem to have such a seamless match.

My SSII isn't a good match either, but it'll do for now,.

It looks perfect to me.. MW is a pain in the dick to get perfect they say it's a 5 stage paint process..

Ill try to get some pictures up but I just installed a set of used YMB reflectors by IND that I got used off another member. I'm not sure how longer he had the set on this car previously but they were in great condition when I got them. I put them on my new 2018 and it was a perfect match still. Just took off all of the old double sided tape off and put new 3m tape on and it was perfectly flushed as well.

I don't have a problem spending $80k on a car, but for some reason I had real hard time spending $130 on painted reflectors. Those who get it will understand. Rant over.

IND is the best for the reflectors. Like kerkiraios00 MW is a pain in the butt but they matched ours perfectly.

for those who wrapped their car with clear bra/expel how did you do the reflectors? Are they cut around it? Can I get my car wrapped first then install the reflectors? then take it back to wrap the reflectors?

Thank you everyone for the support. We do have a paint match guarantee on most colors.
