Thank you for putting up the pics!

My buddy with the tools did it without taking off the wheels. But you've got it!

The slatted style is just more obvious when taking photos, but the patterns for both should be equally visible in person.

I actually think it'd look weird if the covers are flush with the bumper.. makes the rear looks really flat?

Take a look at the 1M, the recess looks fine and adds touch to the rear bumper IMO.
+1; keep it the same as OEM would be my thoughts exactly...

The Chinese New Year holidays will end on wed, but people come back to work for 1 day then it's weekend again.... so I am hoping the following week before I can ship them out to the US, once they get to my warehouse in LA, it'll be pretty quick.

Been following this thread for a while and have to say these rear reflector replacements look like they came out pretty good. I also can't wait to see some real pics, not photoshops, of the slatted and honeycomb installed on an LBB!

I have sent out like a dozen honeycomb style, I am sure one of them must have been for an LBB. Can someone post pics?

Slat style will be in the work next week, everyone here in Asia just got back from holidays... things are moving slow.

Anyone receive a quote for installing these? For reference, I was charged $105 to have my front reflectors done

These can really be done with a socket wrench.

One guy removed the wheel (makes it easier, but not necessary) and did it himself.
