Smoked rear bumper reflector

Does anyone know who makes a rear bumper reflector in a smoke finish similar to the ones sold for the front bumper? I'm not a fan of color matched or a black non reflective finish.

Thanks

Not reflective, but you could wrap them OR you could spray them with a reflective paint.

Something like this - Volvo or someone came up with another type of product for bikers.

Thanks. I thought of spraying them with a smoked tint but thought there might already be something out there that exist. Surprised that no one has made it yet.

I tinted mine using VViViD Vinyl. Honestly it is extremely fool-proof and the material/reflectors are probably a 2/10 in difficulty (1/10 if you pop them out before tinting). Was very impressed with the usability and quality of the tint.

We have created these templates for the sole purpose of toning down the rear reflectors. Using high quality material with air release, for ease of install, these overlay kits are pre-cut ready to apply.

Left reflector has our overlay on it, whereas the right is kept OEM

We have these ready to go if you're interested.

We also do pre-cut kits to de-chrome the grille badge (light tint and blackout options available)

Here is the lighter tint
