Painted Rear Reflectors

Hello Fellas,

Just got the GC back from the body shop with painted rear reflectors, SO MUCH BETTER!

Now need to get the front ones done.

Idk I gotta say I'm not loving it. I think that little reflector adds something to the bumper.

I like it. I wrapped all chrome on handles and side markers as well as front reflectors. I would like to do these but unsure of removal and not that good to wrap on car.
