IND | G87 M2 Painted Rear Reflector Set - Gloss Black



Introducing our newest set of "reflector deletes" for the G87 M2! IND's Painted Rear Reflectors are a must to clean up the busy look of the M2's rear bumper. The factory rear reflector sits in a gloss black recessed "cut-out" area of the bumper that also houses PDC sensors. However while the PDC sensors are also gloss black and therefore blend into the cut-out, the bright red reflector presents another color and finish in a small area that diminishes the aggressive, yet clean look of the rear bumper.

Each reflector is meticulously hand sanded, primed, painted and cleared, before being finished off with a thorough polishing and a coat of Adam’s paint sealant.

Upgrade the appearance of your new M2 with the IND G87 M2 Painted Rear Reflectors, and make a statement on the road.

Product Details:
  • Sold as a pair
  • Flawless factory fit
  • Paint quality guarantee

Please contact IND by phone or email for more information or to place your order.

Are the pry kits interchangeable for the front and rear reflectors? As in, I plan to buy both reflector sets but only one pry kit.

Just curious, has anyone thought about just removing the reflector and leaving it empty?

Yes the pry kit is the same so you will only want 1 of them.

I think my rear reflector delete will just be a piece of electrical tape over the top

Can you get a closeup photo so we can see how effective it is.

I also like the slat version and think those may work better with the design of the G87. Can’t wait to see some pics of them!

So I was able to get my front paint matched reflectors on no problem, with the rears they did NOT want to budge out of their holes with the pry tools.
Is this just a "hit it with your purse" moment where I'm not prying hard enough? Or do you need to somehow get to the back of the reflectors for removal before putting the black ones in?

The rear reflectors will typically need access to the back to squeeze the 3 pairs of tabs to release the reflector, but we were able to get our arm up from underneath without removing any fasteners.

Otherwise you can remove the bolts securing the back of the fender liner and under-side of the bumper cover to reach in from the rear of the fender well.

Thank you for the reply! I’ll take a second look to see if I can get my arm in there, otherwise I’ll go through the fender well liners. Car looks great with the Black M2 badge and the front paint matched Zandvoort blue reflectors. Thanks again!

I know this is around the rear reflector delete, but I cringed watching that video when he just left the pry tool between the bumper and front reflector. That's a big no-no, you can deform the cutout around the bumper with all the heat and pressure. You can even see what looks like a bump in that area after he installed the painted reflector. Maybe you can get it flush with some more heat, dunno. Just a PSA, don't do what he did!

I agree and wasn't going to say anything but since you brought it up..., I cringed a lot across several videos. I'm just not the target market.

Well, since we're on the subject he also didn't protect the area where the rear bumper meets the quarter panels. He should have placed some tape there. When pulling off and replacing the bumper cover it's easy to accidentally scratch the QP.
