Default FS: Bumperplugs Sapphire Blue rear reflector delete

I ordered a pair of Sapphire Blue rear reflectors painted from bumperplugs but upon receipt I have changed my mind about installing them.





If anyone wants them make me an offer they were $250 from BP!

Ive decided that its a safety issue at night, since they are completely painted there is no reflectivity at all ... they look great on the car and remove all that
nasty read ... but in the end I got sensible/scared

Not sure they are the same size, or maybe I'm confused with the 991 Turbo.

Larry, your large red tail lights are still reflective, right? And at night, they glow red.

If you need a 3rd point, consider how low they are to the ground. Especially for mini van/tall SUV soccer mom. Can she really even see 'em?

I'll take pictures, post a poll, then ignore the results and order some in matte black!
