Admittedly this is a $200,000++ car, but I would have bought a pair of your painted reflector covers already IF they were priced BELOW the front side marker lights from Suncoast ...

Just saying ... don't think I'm in the minority thinking this. Of course, I don't have to buy if I don't like the price ...

Chagrined
Porsche is charging us $295 to paint the 1/4" round plastic head light cleaners when is costs them nothing during the production process of building our cars The $250 for the reflectors almost seems reasonable

They are a nice touch on light coloured cars. I have a UV with clear rear tail lights coming in December, will need a pair.

I agree - we feel as if our prices are fair for these parts! Its not like we're making huge margins on these things - its just the cost of the part + paint and labor. haha.

Yeah that sounds good! We have a set of UV in the booth now that we are spraying. Will post up pictures soon!

Agree, that pricing is nutty for the painted covers for the cleaner jets ... just PAG taking advantage of demand (IMO from business perspective not wrong) and buyer's willingness to go along.

TAG, if buying plastic strips at crazy prices, may be providing appropriately priced value-added work for their painting and part stocking/distribution .... now better understand their POV.

I think this is a good look with clear tail lights, but why not just use a clear reflector? Painted or clear, it's still not legal.

But how would you keep it clear with a painted surface behind it? Or it that your point, let the painted bumper color shine through the clear lens?

But, yeah, they can't come from the factory that way because of the DOT requirements for the amount of reflective red.

Maybe a silver mirrored backing behind the actual reflector. I think this would give a similar look to the clear tails or just look like a "White" reflector.

Because they do not make a Clear OEM part....

Either way you look at it - it falls under the same DOT compliance as changing the orange reflector on your fender..... It is the same thing - and 99.999% of the people that own a 911 change that with not one issue that I have yet to hear regarding it.
