Just looking for some opinions on the red reflectors in the rear. My car came without them:



Here is the car with them:



Do you think it looks better with or without the reflectors? It's a cheap part, the parts are like $20.00 total. Thanks for your input.

P.S. Does anyone know if these reflectors come part of a package/option? Or are they just an accessory?

+1 :thumbsdown: I like mine body colored. I don't need all those reflectors - I am not driving a big rig, just a car.

I like the reflectors, they give the bumper a little contrast in the back...

Exactly, if mine were the cheap black plastic ones then I would consider it, but I have body colored ones and they fit right in with the bumper.

This was my thought too when I originally saw them. You have them on yours?

A better contrast would be an M-tech rear with a CF diffuser - that looks good. Reflectors are for bikes
