SC03346.JPG]I've listened to many who love the front amber reflectors and to those who curse them. I finally took the bull by the horns and removed them, painted them and reinstalled them. I thought the amber colored reflector broke up the asthetic and sporty lines of the car. What do you think?

Granted, I am colorblind, but it looks to me like they don't match the car. The amber doesn't bother me one way or the other.

I think on a stock LCI e60 (non m tech bumper), the amber looks good but with an M-tech kit...you should color match it...
