Default Front grill reflectors?

I noticed he space above the chrome accent on the two lower front grills was a similar shape to the reflectors on the rear quarter panels. I bought me some yellow ones. It looks like with a little sanding, they will fit in there nicely.

I just placed them for a test/loose-fit. The lenses are a little too tall so will need a bit of sanding.

OK they were sanded down a bit and just installed. I like the "pop" color up front.

I like the idea and the fit is good. And anything that takes attention away from that rectangle in the grill will always get my vote.

I do think the orange is too bright, such that it is the first thing I see in the pics. I would tone it down to be more in line with the orange on the headlight corners using a tinted transparent film layer.

With the additional orange, I also think the wheel centers need to be black now instead of red. Just seem out of place.

I spent 10 minutes and mocked it up to see.




Nice work all around.

That rectangular radar cover is unsightly. I should fit flat for one thing, and the coloring could be better. Should be dark gray like the grill.

I like that! Might be hard to get a piece of 5vinyl to fit now that everything is glued in. I'll try! Thank you.
