Default After front bumper amber reflectors are removed

Does anyone have a pic of the front bumper after the amber reflectors are removed? More specifically, the hole itself after removal of the reflector(close up pic)

It looks much better if you spend the $40 and paint match them than to just take them out and leave a hole, imo.

its an '04. i havent decided what im going to do just yet. that's why id like to see pics. if i dont mind it then i'll install black mesh or a front brake cooling duct(if there is some room). if i dont like it i will just paint the reflectors to match the body.

i never thought about adding mesh. I just did it a week or so ago and put it white reflectors on my smb.. I think mesh might look really cool

when you took them out, were there any screw holes showing or just the rectangular hole?

It is not hard to find out yourself on driver side. You don't even have to jack up your car. Just turn your wheel all the way in. The passenger side is a bit harder.

I was actually thinking about removing mine and using the stock reflectors as "molds" to bend the mesh around...then you'd have a perfect reflector-shaped mesh piece that you could trim to fit and glue in with clear silicone or something. Just an idea...

Either that or I'm gonna do the VHT night shades spray paint over the top of the reflectors to smoke them out.

Don't spray or overlay your stock reflectors, I did it and it doesn't look good at all. If you want to tint, buy clear one and tint those...otherwise it just looks like dark orange, and stupid

If you take out the front reflectors you'll see pretty much nothing on the driver's side and the window washer fluid reservoir (off-white plastic) on the passenger's side.

I can get a pic if absolutely necessary, since nobody has stepped up to posting pics of the bumper installed (which I'm assuming is what you're interested in).
