Rear Bumper Reflector Wrap

Wasn't a fan of the rear reflectors and also wasn't sure about the aftermarket inserts as well. So, I went and purchased some CF wrap from Amazon for $20. Was super easy to do. I think they actually turned out ok. If I decide I don't like them I can always go back with a little work. So... there are cheap options out there for those that are unsure what is currently on the market. (Oops fixed the picture links)

I did the same but with a dark gray wrap. Perhaps the CF would have been better/more fun.

How do you get the reflectors out? I tried but found it quite difficult so ended up using tint film and doing it 'in place' while they were still fitted

you just need to pull the rear bumper off a bit. Instructions below. No need to take off rear wheels.

I left them stock for now. Most likely going with IND's painted reflectors.

It's probably worth getting the slatted rear ones from IND too. Will see if I can get my dad to buy some in the future.

RKP spoiler and diffusor. The diffusor looks pretty close to OEM I think but a little bit more aggressive.

Thanks! That looks pretty simple

Is it actually pulling the bumper off a bit? Or just pulling the inner arch liner away? Can't quite work out that from the pics.

you need to pull the bumper off a bit. When putting it back I had to push in it back into the clips and push the bumper up and toward the wheel to get it align correctly.
