I just got a note from JBSpeed with a UPS tracking number. Thanks JBSpeed (and sfj)!!

People should not sign up for GBs if they aren't willing to see it through. Big black mark.

It is one-use adhesive as it gets screwed up when you remove the reflector. I put the originals back on with new adhesive (painted) on my old E92. You remove the painted reflectors in a similar way to the OEM reflectors (I used Goo-gone to loosen the adhesive). You'll then need some sort of adhesive to put the original reflectors back on (I guess you could cut some double-sided tape - I used a liquid adhesive). By the way, don't do this when its cold. The glue doesn't stick well. Wait till its above 10 C or so.

I missed the package delivery from UPS today. I dont think we saved anything at all in this GB. Customs charge $38.

Why cant the vendor not use USPS?!!!! I hate UPS.

totally agree, fuk UPS, u piece of shit!

why the hell UPS charge me for 30 something bucks for brokerage and customs while I am only purchasing something that is worth 70 bucks. like 50% of the item value.

I receive my reflector today too. I have to admit that the vendor ships things fast but unfortunately we didn't request for a better carrier

Keep in mind that the reflector is VERY difficult to install by yourself if you don't have experience with it IMO. I can't wait for installation and decide to DIY then I screw up the installation . but whatever..

here is before and after reflector is installed:

Yes.
Just checked my paypal/bank acct to make sure there wasn't some other withdrawal I missed.
Maybe mine came through as part of a second shipment and went through a different person?
