Clear front reflectors - Throw back to the 90s
Decided to tackle a DIY for the front reflectors. This was a PITA as you guys know. There a few threads on DIY, but I felt the best way to get this done with the best results is to remove the wheels as well as the plastic panel inside to get access behind the fender. That way I can remove all the residual double sided tape and ensure the clear reflectors are flush when installed (as you can see from the photos). A lot of work but I'm happy with the results. Fitment is OEM.
I know most ppl prefer the body colored reflector aka reflector delete. My modding days go back to the 90s - JDM cars, etc. Back then clear everything was the thing - clear front corner lights, side markers, tail lights, etc. I do like the clear reflectors especially on a white car. Plus you keep the reflector functionality |

I like it, did the same on my white F10, but they were marketed as 'white' reflectors, but up close, it looked like chrome under clear. This only works with a white car, perfectly.
Ps... time for new rotors! Lol |

I like it. Reminds of my E36 M3 days when the starting mods were “LTWs, clears, and a drop!”
