Painted Reflectors
#16
Understood, though this doesn't look too Christmas-y or bad, with the small red accents on calipers, reflectors, and tail lights:

Agreed, gorgeous!...but too late for any change now. I even like the silver wheels on that photo....

Guess I will have to live with those red reflectors back there.....

Nice, how did you replace them? Did you have to remove the rear bumper? I have heard they are not easy to do as on the 991, where I had Eric paint them and I popped them in and out.

Here's another option that's less expensive than painting & has some colour choices. It's a newer product of theirs.

Miserable. Had a 991.2 as well, and they are not even close to that easy. They pop out, but with a ton of force. There is a screw that I could not reach without removing the bumper, so I just applied a lot of pressure and more or less ripped the OEM ones out. No issue in 2000 miles since with the replacements. If you want to do it right, remove the bumper so you can get to that screw that is on each reflector.

So I decided to try out those tinted laminx reflector covers in the link above. Thought I would report back. I went with gunsmoke which is the 2nd lightest of the tints. For $20 and easy application I'm happy with the final result.
These were for rear reflectors even though the picture is for side markers
