Anyone have recommendations to the side reflectors? I found the smoked reflectors...I guess whites out ones would look good on black f30 as well. I've been searching for the painted ones but haven't been able to get a good vendor that has black available.

Any good recommendations?

I bought mine from IND. I have mineral gray and they matched perfectly. A bit harder to take out than what the video shows, but pretty easy once you realize you have to pry pretty hard to remove them. Second one took about a quarter of the time the first one did.

I'm mostly worried about taking off the sticky stuff from the car after taking off the old one. Was that a pain?

Yes, leave them alone. They were mandated after years of NHTSA research and GAO assessment on side impacts, particularly at night. And, you have a black car of all colors! On a rainy night, this would otherwise be a set-up to get to know an elderly oncomer, possibly with some age-related vision loss, who might have otherwise seen you in time.

I went with smoked reflectors on my Mineral Grey M Sport. Really can't stand the orange ones.




It's a bit of a pain to get the adhesive off, but not too bad if you use a heat gun or hair dryer.

Where do you buy the smoked markers? I have an f34 anyone know if it's the same size as f30?

I got these from Amazon seller VXMOTOR and am pleased with the quality, plus it was about half the price of other sellers.

Not sure if it would be the same between f34 and f30. They *are* different between M Sport and other variants.

Got mine from IND on Amazon. Perfect paint match and arrived in a day. Removing the sticky stuff wasn't bad. Use your finger to roll up the majority of it then just rub some goo gone / goof off on it. It'll take a while, but it comes off cleanly. Took me about 2-3 applications of goo gone to get it to where I felt like it was clean enough to re-apply. Then just make sure to clean off ALL the residue or you'll be leaving that adhesive solvent on there, which is obviously a bad idea.
