Lost rear Reflectors after exhaust install

so funny story short.

installed the complete Cat Back GTHaus Miestercraft
which by the way SOUNDS INSANE!!! JUST DO IT!

i did not install the exhaust tips, i ran out of sunlight before i could trim the rear bumper, so i forego the install of those tips. the exhaut outlet ended up being less then 5 inches from the actual bumper cutout for the tips..

so yes, the exhaust was dumping into the rear bumper.

must have heated it up quite nicely after a short drive, and shook the rear reflectors loose.....

who can supply these Rear Reflectors, or is contact the dealer the best bet.

Any dealer or online catalog. Looks like part 63147290091, left. 92, right.

Important question is... did the PDC sensors/wiring survive? That would be the more expensive "oops".

everything survived except the reflectors......for all i know, it could have been the mixture of slight heat and extreme vibration.

but i ordered the IND oem color reflectors, so thank you all who helped anyway.

PS....im not sure the pdc sensors survived.... my amplifier for my sound system, had the power cables snagged out, and blew the inline fuse... as well as the fuse tap ignition source, and i had the shop wire that up. havent contacted them, but the wires go to the left side of the vehicle to up front....and im unsure where that fuse would be to replace...

Wow! Heat from the exhaust must've expanded the plastic on the bumper and let the reflectors fall out.. crazy.

Glad to hear you like the sound of the new exhaust!
