What color reflectors?

PGJ328i · 04-24-2019, 03:29 PM

What color reflectors look best on Alpine white, smoke or clear? I don’t want painted. Thought?

I have a set of clear reflectors ($17) that I still need to put on. I feel like clear would look cleaner than smoked; however, I can see smoked looking better for the stormtrooper look (black wheels, tinted windows, black front lip/rear spoiler... gotta have the black accents to match up)

Imo the clear

Smoked would stick out too much visibly

I went with clear on my mineral white. It was tough to find a good match without going to a paint shop to get it done. Clear ones were super cheap (as are smoked) but I think clear blends in much better with white.

Between those choices, I'd go clear. I'm curious why you wouldn't color match?

We are using black reflectors on the white M4

Thanks, I am definitely leaning towards the clear.
