I think you can only order them primed for painting.

Here are the part numbers (although it's likely that there's a titanium silver owner here who might be willing to swap or sell you the painted ones he took out to install his reflectors...)

Left insert (primed): 51127166661
Right insert (primed): 51127166662

Good luck and welcome to the forums...

How about white? Does anyone make them in white/clear? I did some desaturation in PS, they seem to look great on black - just so-so on the Silver Gray.

Maybe, but a clear reflector is illegal for use (at least) in the US. Clear on front, red on rear...

My inserts are body-colored, and I don't have any compelling reason to insist on red reflectors; the current inserts look fine to me. If I had a light-colored car and my inserts were black, I would have a very different point of view.

If my wife had "body-colored inserts" in a strategic location, that also would be fine by me.
