Lookin for suggestions on a exterior problem..

Ok, I have the silver decal package on the car and i really cant stand out the front orange reflector cuts through the front wave on the front bumper. I might end up buyin a new bumper but for now, what should i do?? Paint it silver?? get a CF reflector? take it off and try to just put the decal over the hole? leave it?? I gotta do somehtin i think... anyway, any suggestions would be good.

as far as i remeber you can have reflectors as long as they are white or orange in the front. i changed mine and have had no problems. of course i don't have a decal kit to attract that much attention either

either get the clear reflector from procarparts.com, or get a set of lexus RX300 running lights, they fit hole well, and you can have actual running lights where the reflector was

smoke it out, like was mentioned above. you can get that paint stuff to smoke out lenses. it'll be a greyish shade. or you can get a set of clears on ebay for $30. that'd be cool too.

Yeaah... thanks for all the comments... i never thought of gettin clears... now that i try to picture that.. that might be hot.

i have a bunch of decal cuz i had MI send me a roll so i can replace teh front bumper peice once i get the front kit.. and yea, i'm buyin the gunmetal vx8s in june w/ skunks 2s. so if thats the case, would CF or smoked out be better than clear or silver decal covering?

I put the decals on last summer. I called up MI and asked if they could hook me up w/ it.. cost me an arm and a leg cuz they didn't want to print it again but they did. i guess its cuz its so complicated.. but anyway.. i think that answered everyone.. thanks for all the hits.. ok, so smoked out, since i'm going gunmetals?
