This simple modification is a must on LCI cars IMO.
I removed the reflectors (very easy to do) and got them painted at the local body shop. Here are some pics:

clean :thumbsup:

so whats next on the mod list? :)

and btw, welcome and enjoy the forums.

Nice, much better making them invisible :thumbsup:

I'd do the same on the front silver trim that looks like bumper shows it's tongue out :P

The reflector thing is so funny to me. When I got my last 550i everyone hated the body color inserts on the rear bumpers so they went out and bought European reflectors. Now it seems the opposite is true. Personally, I don't think that it's such a bad idea either way.

I like that much better. I'm not a fan of the fender reflector...it's weird to me :blink:

Lookin good. I'm debating whether to change mine. In person, they appear a lot smaller than in pix.

Thanks for the welcome! :)

I need to get rid of orange bulbs next, any ideas?

I've seen this happen with every BMW model, people hate DOT mandated changes as they usually make the car less appealing. It's not really a modification but rather a restoration to originally intended look.

huh? Over here where the orange reflectors are not required, I would love to have it on the bumper like that. Its nice, and if it had like a light thats on all the time like the old s-class benz, it'd be even cooler.

Yeap, now it looks more "european"... :lol:
