Rear deflector delete?
Anyone know if these exist or are in the works?
I worked up some paint magic. I think it looks good. The red is half and half to give perspective. |

I was wondering about installation too. If it is integrated too well, it would suck. I just think the look is good and more seamless than the orange reflector mods, which I can't get myself to do. Something about it from up close and seeing the lines bothers me. |

+1 for plastidip on these parts
You want to flow with the diffuser by going black color

I agree. I think it looks better than trying to hide them.

No sense in not trying the plastidip first. If the match isn't perfect you can always paint later on but matching the diffuser color could be tricky there as well. Even stock at least they match the tail lamps so not horrible. You could also plastidip the entire diffuser as well to get the whole thing perfectly matched. That's probably the simplest way to go
The front is also infinitely better / easier to fix now that the reflector is on the bumper and not buried in the headlamp assembly.
