IND Painted Rear Reflector Insert

Would love to see a pic posted by a forum member who has installed these on their G05?
This is the only one I can find:

Rear Reflector pic

Thanks much!
How does it look from the corner/angled view and rear side view, if you could be so kind?

Are you talking about the exhaust tips? I plan to get them in the near future. The pic I sent which showed the side view is outdated, I have the shadow line exhaust trim installed now and swapped the original badges for the IND gloss black painted badges. Amazing how such a small thing can affect appearance IMO. Do you have the link to the parts your referring to?

As far as install for the rear reflectors, don't waste your money by having someone else do it. It's extremely simple. Open the trunk both top and bottom. Pull them straight out by hand, no tools needed, then replace with the new ones by just inserting back into the slots. It will take you a total of 2 minutes literally

THANKS for the heads up on the RR install. My M Sport arrived with the Shadowline tips, and I anxiously await the IND painted front and rear reflectors, IND carbon fiber front and rear roundels, IND gloss black rear emblems, and IND Carbon Fiber FLoating wheel cap set to install on my new white X5 :-)

I strongly suggest buying the rivets and a rivet gun to make the install easy. If not, you will be pulling your hair out. There are two rivets that hold a plastic liner than prohibits you from really getting the space you need to do this right. If you pop those rivets, the work is simple. I bought the rivets and it was an easy job.

How is the color match, particularly if anyone has mineral white? that is almost an impossible color to match.
