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:

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.

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.
