Orange Reflector??

Are those things removable? I mean I want my bodyshop to remove them and just paint in that deadspot and fill any holes that might be there....has anyone tried to do this?

eyelids breaking at high speeds? I dunno. I have a white car so the CF Reflectors might not look good?

correction.. CF looks good with ANYTHING! but if you don't like it, you can always paint over the CF with just a simple primer, then a glossy white, then clearcoat if you want. just to get rid of that uglyass orange reflector.

yeah i know but i feel like the kaminari bumper is overbought.... the type 2 lip ...havent seen anyone in my neighborhood with it, but I have seen 3 lancers so far with kaminari bumpers. I guess not many know about the Lip..... I'm thinking Type 1 too...

Hey i got the type 1, and swift is getting his soon

IMO Pics on RMR dont do it justice, ITs a great alternative if you looking for a big mouth effect, and it does make it a little more aggressive.

Type 2 is ehhhhhh, im not a fan but it looks ok

As far as Reflectors go i have the CF reflectors right now to tie me over. once i get my new bumper and lip im probably gonna fill the holes up and have it painted. Should look alot better

I used a spray window tint to tint the reflectors on mine (removed before painting) they are held in by 2 screws on the back of the reflector. check it out
