Mine arrived today. Super fast shipping, really nice packaging.

I'll try my best to install them this weekend and get some pics posted.

I like it sunken. If it was flush - it would look like someone stuck a plastic cover over the red reflector.

It looks OEM this way. IMHO.

Great packaging btw! I like the writing in the back!

Now get us some options to replace the front reflector like I told you by email! Pretty sure many here would jump on it including myself!

To make it easy, I can do just the painted reflectors and clear reflectors, which is in progress.

However, I am trying to think of something different, but it's really hard as the front one sits right on the wheel arch...

Nevertheless, I have a better project that I am working on, which will take sometime though

Get a buddy that got tools and work on their own bikes and cars.

It's really easy to loosen up the rear bumper and slide your hand in from the back to detach the OEM one.

Do you reckon you can do this without removing the rear wheels?

Yes, you don't need to actually remove anything except the screws.

My recommendation would be DCT paddle extensions that don't cost $300 There was a guy on the S4 forums who manufactured some and they were a hit

Had some time to install the honeycomb style. Great product! Couldn't be happier. Looks even better in person.
