Kzang Interesting. Its different from my M Sport key ring from May 2014. I have the same but for the bottom icon. Is it a button you press for the alarm to go off or lights to come on?

Probably gonna get a lot of shit for "Plasti Dip" but it's only the antenna.

Wrapping it on the car would take minimum 2 hours to do it right and that in two pieces since I can't remove the thing

Nope keeping it AW, just did the main roof portion. Will do the trunk deck lid when I have more spare time to complete the whole look.

Just bought a can, thinking I can plastidip the reflectors... bpy that plastidip spray is pretty sh*tty quality, it almost splutters chunks all over the place. I dipped my mouse (not actual mouse, but a computer mouse) and I dipped one of the boxes that were lying around in the garage, it is nowhere near smooth. What is your end product look like? I really thought I could dip my reflectors.

At a glance they look good, but the reflection makes them look dusty.
Do you have more pictures? It's definitely unique.

If you want to spray the reflectors, I'd use VHT Nightshades spray tint instead. That way you can make it as light or dark as you wanted and then put multiple coats of clear on top. I put one very light coat on my C300's tail lights to take the edge off of the red and they turned out pretty well.
I have a spare set of reflectors in the garage and will be experimenting a bit. Will start with tint film to see how that turns out first since that's an easily reversible task. Will move on to some kind of spray next if I don't like the tint. It's been a while since I've checked out Home Depot's paint aisle. Seems like there's always something new (finish wise) from Rustoleum that gets my mod-brain thinking.

I'll upload me one when I get back home later this evening.

Left everything covered for it to fully dry and settle down.
