Default Question for everyone who dislikes the orange reflectors

I really don’t like the orange reflectors in the front bumper. I know there are clear reflectors, but Im not sure I like them a hole lot better. I was thinking about removing the stock reflectors and having them painted to match my car which is Pikes Peak White. I wanted to ask what you guys think about doing this and see if any other members already have.

well, performance nissan also sells smoked reflectors... suite e grafx sells carbon fiber reflector covers...

ares from this forum sells led lighted reflectors....

if you are thinking about filling in that space and painting it white, then i dont see why you dont just get the clear reflectors. my friend has it on his ppw and it blends in quite well. just my opinion.

it might be easier and cheaper to overlay them with Bats PPW than paint them. If anything i would go for the clears..they seem to match well with the PPW and its still functional.

I have the clears on my car. Just put them on yesterday actually. It was kind of a pain because I had to take down the front bumper. Anyway, thats besides the point. I think the clear reflectors look really good on the car, and when the light hits them they shine a little and attract some attention to the car.

I'm thinking of getting clear sidemarkers. Can someone point me in the direction of a pair at a good price?
