Orange Bumper Reflectors Mod

Hey guys, I wanted to swap out the orange bumper reflectors on my 2011 E90 M sport 335i. I'm looking for something like thishttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Bimmian-09-1...dXSMR1&vxp=mtr, but $75 even before shipping seems high. I think I'd prefer the color match to my Black Sapphire car, but I was wondering if anyone here had a good solution that didn't cost a fortune. Thanks!

Check ebay. Not vouching for any vendors on there but you might find something. $75 is a lot for a standard reflector, but once painted PROPERLY with clearcoat and all, the price adds up. I paid the full price thru JBSpeed way back when.

Thanks! I actually found your video today during my googling. Super helpful, easy to follow, I'm convinced it'll be easy for me to do thanks to your video. I may wind up giving these a go after I get my new angel eyes in. One thing at a time!

I'm still thinking it might be possible to do it for less with a good tape or something if someone makes it, haven't been successful in my search so far.

Thanks for the heads up, JBSpeed seems to be the same price point. Any feedback? Happy with them? Car looks great btw.

What would the steps/costs involved with that though? Also I like the idea of having stock items stashed away come resale time. Just put in my new angel eyes but I have originals stored away, would like to do the same with reflectors if possible. If this is easy though I'm open minded.

My car was in the shop last week for some touch up work. I asked them to touch up the reflectors at the same time.

Nothing I can do, amigo. The website automatically mangles the URL because that vendor isn't a supporting member or something.
Just do a google search for "bmw painted reflectors" and you will find suitable products available.
