Damn, that looks clean OP!! I highly reccomend the IND paint match reflectors next. Had this on my black m235 and it really cleans the front of the car up for a seamless look.
Yeah I had those on my 328i! I ordered smoked reflectors so I can code out the orange side markers on my lights and still have some type of a reflector this time.

I highly recommend not painting over reflectors. They are there for a reason.

You don't have to, and that's the beauty of individualism. I'm old too. Don't worry. As long as there's some type of reflector there, safety wise, I think it'll be fine.

Ahhh the forum reflector police. I forgot. Listen. Imma do what I want with my car. I'm keeping a reflector. Thats for safety. I'm coding out the yellow. That's for beauty. Y'all be elsewhere with that and leave this as my build thread, and not another reflector debate. Thanks

Instead of getting smoked ones, I used left over window tint (35%) to "wrap" it. Looks fine from a distance

Installed a matte black front lip made of Polypropylene. It seems pretty sturdy and is securely fastened. Also recently flashed BM3 stage 1+ transmission tune.
