Default Painted rear reflector pics.

Per Sam's request, it's on a TT, but would likely do well on a GT3 as well. I think it really emphasizes the horizontal proportions with a cleaner look. From Eric @ BumperPlugs.

Thanks for sharing with us, many have been thinking about getting it done but we could only see photoshopped pics so it helps to see how it would actually look.
PS: your car is gorgeous.

Looks great. I think it would also look good in painted black, flat. BumperPlugs does great stuff.

I want to do this on my GT silver Gt3 coming in. Would you guys do them painted exterior color or flat black?

Keep in mind, Eric at BumperPlugs does not offer a "flat black" per his web site. I see Black and Bassalt Black, just not flat black. You may want to e-mail or PM him to see if he can offer that. Or maybe he will respond in this thread.

I think a flat black would look good, and match the rear fascia. Can't go wrong with GT Silver. Anything is better than the actual red reflector, IMO.

If you choose flat black, then I think that it would be better to just wrap the reflectors in flat black vinyl (or Plasti-Dip 'em) so that it's easily reversible.

I have ordered these from Bumper plugs and expect then to arrive in a couple of weeks, will try them out and report back (if someone doesnt beat me). I have played with photoshop and along with the "porsche"script delete I think this will much improve the rear asthetics.

I'd just have it done at my local shop. Just curious what you guys would think looks-wise vs doing body colored.
