Okay, so this "upgrade" actually cost $23. Yesterday I finally grew tired of looking at my scratched, faded black reflector inserts on the rear bumper, so I drove to LB BMW and bought the red reflector kit. (Yeah, I know, color-matched inserts may look better, but these were cheap and available.) Installation took 93 seconds for both sides. Before and after pics below.
Hey Lee!

You did it and I think it looks much better with the red inserts. I think the color matched inserts look funny, why would BMW put that cut out there??
Yours looks great!!

IT I see you have an 08, did you leave the orange reflectors on the new LCI front bumper or are you going to paint match them?
