Default How to black out front bumper reflectors?

So I have a yellow 350z that I'm doing black accents in. Got pretty much every thing figured out, except the orange reflectors in the bumper.

I'd like to keep the reflective quality to them, so I THINK tinting them is out. Lights are cool and all, but don't run when the car is off. Right now I'm tossing the idea of covering them with black reflective tape, but I'm not too sure that is the way to go.

Any ideas?

Do a google search for "350z front reflectors black". They're not as easy to find as they used to be, but they're still available. Make sure you get the ones for '03-'05, as the later reflectors are a different shape.

Spray paint?

Remove them all together for "vents".

Buy plastic material and cut to shape and replace.

Use your imagination I'm sure there is 1 mil things you can do or think of. Most are easy and probably easy to undo so just try it. Not like your cutting fenders and doors which you can't undo or total out the car if you screw it up lol

Thanks dcains, that's what I was looking for. Just ordered from nissanautosports.com.
