looks good...there is proabably a way to add an extra light somewhere like a rear fog light, but clear instead of red, for back up.

I was just thinking of tinting the entire rear lights (all three) instead of just painting the centre section. Problem is that those rear lights are not very bright to begin with.

The gaps are there because of the rear bumper, which needs adjusting---but wont get it because it is being replaced with a euro rear bumper, and if you read the entire post, it states, that the reflector "is not finished yet" It will then have 0 gaps. The center reflector, is in fact, still a center reflector----which means those "gaps" were there before it was painted, so be it white or red, the gaps would still remain they didnt form from me painting the reflector.

Also, those who paint the reflector do it because they want to, not because they "arent concerned" about backing into a wall. I think I can judge the distance between my car and the wall without the little white lights telling me when to stop...besides, I honestly cant think of a time when I had to back up to a wall. To all their own.

I personally like what you have done and commend you and the others for trying something new and posting it out here for everyone to comment on !! I like the results on the white better then the darker colors..

The rear reflectors have been a issue for a lot of people on this forum from cracking to fading and a lot of solutions have been posted (films, translucent paints and now a solid color)..

thanks goes out to everyone on this board !

Great words! Thank you, and I agree completely. I have owned basically every make of german car one would typically seek, and of all the Porsche is my favorite. Unfortunately with that, follows 99% of people who frown upon anything not on the car when it was created, IMO---porsche changed things through time for a reason, why not do the same.

Thank you, I will continue finishing the reflector, and post pictures when it is finished.

I say who cares what others think....opinions are just that...everybody has one and is entitled to one. You take the good with the bad. End of the day, it's your car and you make it look the way you want to.

The painted reflector doesn't do it for me personally, but don't let that stop anyone!

And if anybody in/near Boston wants to try it - you can have my old cracked reflector as a base (tail lights too if you want) for pennies.

ps, I love my brand new taillights and center reflector that I just got from Sunset a few weeks ago
