Those ugly reflectors need to GO!! Easy DIY

BMW DIY Guy · 12-07-2023, 04:21 PM

Ok yall.. the ugly reflectors HAVE TO GO! I really love my new toronto red M2 but wow the orange reflectors just clash with the car horribly!

IND Distribution makes an excellent color matched set for the front, and black for the rear, completely removing the harsh clash of the OEM reflectors.

The install isn't hard and I highly recommend it for any model! I have DIYs up for the F32 4 series and F87 M2 as well!

That's a good option. You could also paint yours yourself for about $40 in supplies. Factory-match paint in a 12oz spray can is $27 plus shipping. Automotive clear is $6. Video could cut out about 3/4 of the commentary and still show how to successfully swap the reflectors.

I wish someone would make the Zandvoort Blue vinyl sheet to just wrap the reflectors. Seems a little expensive and a pain in the ass to install the IND option.

I made pre-cuts and tinted all emblems and reflectors in dark smoke for a bit stealthier look. KG front splitter and Zunsport grills to be installed once full coverage PPF is completed.

Eventually we will probably start offering them on Ebay. We made installation videos to go along with them so people do the install correctly. Just have to find the time to create the products.

abrandonment · 01-24-2024, 12:16 PM

Yeah I for sure plan on doing that.
