I vote stick with white. I imagine the color variation is just camera flash. Nice work btw.

We're so funny with our mods. I had the color-matched rear reflectors, and put on red ones. If they'd been red, I probably would have painted them silver!

Keep it white
Got them repainted and learned that the M-Kit bumper is a different AW color than the rest of the car. Origianlly, he painted the amber reflectors to match the car. When put into the bumper they were too white. So he repainted them to match the bumper. Now they match the bumper perfectly. But when I lay one on the hood, it is too dark...
