Default Painted Reflectors

Been searching for a bit. Does anyone know of anywhere to get painted reflectors for the GT4?

Bumperplugs does nice work, I have a set on my 991 along with painted badges and the match is spot-on. I didn't see 718 reflectors on their site, but if you contact them I think they can get a set done. It's on my to-do list before my GTS arrives.

I wish I could get them in white reflector material instead of red or smoked like the tail lights.

I had come across bumperplugs and didn’t see it, but I’ll definitely reach out to them - thanks!

I have these on my F80 M3 (front and rear) and they are a nice visual improvement......will also reach out to them as this would be a nice upgrade.

Got an answer from Bumperplugs: "Doubtful. The left side unit is a fog light. We typically would not paint it."

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

Shoot. On the upside I guess this saves me some money. I wonder if they don't want to paint them because of part cost, or another reason. Perhaps they would do it if one shipped them the parts. Although at that point a local body shop could probably do it as well and ensure paint match.

Red reflectors are an accent match for the base red calipers -- $$$ savings all around.

I thought I was being smart and optioned the black calipers. I guess the reflectors will match the Bordeaux with the top down. Ooh, and I can change my radar detector display to red.

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