uh oh iND reflectors are here

just got these in at the office today...now i can't wait to go install them...have a big project but id rather go home to install this right now and come in early to get my work done lol

my mole skins also came in so i hope i can get my door panels back on in time to go to bed and come in early. (guess i can't install the moleskin myself as the door panel clips are controlled by a computer. yikes.
and yellowing my fogs tonight will post all when im done.















what do you guys think about the yellow vinyl on the fogs....gonna try them out for a few days and if i'm not feeling them, i'm just gonna go with yellow bulbs. the stock bulbs aren't that bright the begin with so the look is not as dramatic. looks good on my buddy's w204 though.

Thanks for the sarcasm ... I'm a newbie ... so I didn't know if iND was a manufacturer or the seller or both (it is possible to buy a manufactured part from various suppliers … it’s an honest question) ... pricks!

Hey Martin: do you know if we can paint our reflectors here in Canada and not get caught by cops?

I'm just a bit worried on that!

There is an i in iND in the title of the thread. But, to be fair, just because iND made the product, doesn't mean the OP couldn't have ordered from some retailer. Maybe it does (if no one else sells iND products), I don't mess around with aftermarket stuff on cars much so i don't know. But it wasn't really a dumb question.

yeah the packaging is taped and where they cut the tape the "i" got cut off. let me go search ND now and see what happens lol

A cop would have no idea that a reflector was previously there. Every car is different, and I think they are more concerned about suited up civics then they are a classy BMW that may or may not have had a reflector there... Would be extremely difficult for them to prove that the car wasn't manufactured that way ... worst case scenario... you change them back... but I can never foresee that happening ...

oh ... and I'm waiting on placing an order for these just yet, as I'm not sure what reflector setup will come on the M Sport. I have seen different pics of the M Sport w/ the reflector (and size of the reflector) being different. I would suspect they would go w/ the same setup on the m Sport model... but will wait until I see a pic for Canada/US before placing an order (iDN did let me know that once I have a VIN, they can chekc the part # to be sure)... $75 + $15 for shipping to Canada

yeah i was sort of bored so put it on there last night but afterwards i was thinking hmm....doesn't look as great (as i mentioned above)....might have to just buy the yellow filament bulb and get rid of the covers....i like the yellow but don't like that the cover is yellow. i'm not gonna go hid and try to match it nor have the weak bluish bulbs in there. the yellow actually works in the fog.

i had the as ix mr too i like your pic...how much did you put down?

that's where the "evolution, not revolution" comes in... they never wanted it to look drastically different.

Side note, the 19's on M Sport are growing on me. Generally, I like the sportline 19's better, but the M sport (403's) are growing on me for sure.

the msport wheels do look nice...i just feel that the curvy flow of the msport front bumper doesn't go with the aggressive straight cut lines of the front
