Default C4s reflective strip???

I really like the reflective strip between the rear lights on the new c4s. Is it a sticker or is it attached to the metal with some kind of fastener? If it is a sticker, I think I might go to the dealer and order one. I know cargraphics has one but I don't want to deal with international vendors. Any ideas?

On the C4s the engine lid panel has a cuttaway for the reflector to fit
nicely flush with the rest of the bodywork and lights. Cargraphics are the only ones who produce the sticker but it will sit proud....on-top....of the
engine lid. It looks good from a distance but close up it looks like a cheap add on.

Bob,
Not sure if it fits, but you could always try to go with a C4S trunk lid, I think there are some companies that even do aftermarket versions.

Bob,
I agree that the strip looks amazing on the C4S. It really makes the car look so much more rich then all of the other 996's! I agree with BostonMarkC, buy a C4S! Best of luck - Jay Gratton

I tried the Cargraphics C4S light bar. I just taped it on to get the effect and really didn't like it. Granted that I just taped it on, but it still look to "faux" to me. (and the red color doesn't match either)
