Hi there do you guys like the clear bumper reflectors or the ones painted the same color as your car?

RonnieRenaldi · 06-23-2002, 12:55 PM

Get painted reflectors...looks cleaner

mc · 06-23-2002, 01:08 PM

I think it looks like patch-work. Like you're trying to cover up a hole or something

valerie · 06-23-2002, 01:18 PM

i prefer painted - all of the clear reflectors i've seen look low quality

Or you can get bumper filler for the reflectors if you want to spend extra $$$

Good point....that looks pretty fresh....

I agree

I think the Clear ones look more "cleaner"... especially on dark cars.

I would either:

A) Get Clear Reflectors

or

B) Get the holes filled and painted.

Not feelin' the painted reflectors...

peace

does any one knowz how much it is to fill the hole compare to buying painted corner reflector?

valerie · 06-23-2002, 02:18 PM

can't be cheap, they have to sand, fill and repaint which costs $$

my body shop wouldnt even do it, said the filled parts would be too weak and prone to damage and they couldnt warranty the work
