Default Need to buy reflectors...Please help.

I need to buy some black reflectors for my z33 and I'm not sure what websites are reliable. Can someone please give me the names of a couple of good aftermarket websites? Thank you.

I just called them and they said they didn't have any in black for my year(06). I have looked everywhere else and I can't even find any for that year or after. Only 03-05. Will a reflector from one of those years fit on my 06 Z?

As mentioned, The Z Store and Courtesy Parts are great sites. I don't think I have ever seen tinted ones for 06+. The '03-'05 are not even close to the same item and will not fit!

Your best bet is to take your 06+ ones and just have them tinted.

As far as tinting them goes, do a search for tinting tails. You can use some sort of tint paint or a lot of custom car shops can cover them for you with a variety of types of material.

For the installation, no you do not need to take the bumper off. I just jacked up the car and took the front tire off and peeled back the fender liner on each side. You can access them this way. The passenger is a royal pain to get to though because the washer fluid reservoir is right up against the reflector.
