Video of my reflector install
Got my painted reflectors from IND - Andrew was super helpful and they arrived fast - I made a quick slideshow - video of the install - It took 10 minutes per side - Easy, fast, and a world of difference !

Great Job and excellent video! I also got a pair from IND and attempted to install them myself…key word being "attempted"! I used a heat gun on a low setting and tried to warm up the adhesive from the inside of the wheel well and I just could't get the reflector to budge at all…I could feel the bumper flexing and I just got too nervous and gave up. I ended up having the dealer install them when I took my car in for some other work.

You have to peel back the covering around the reflector. There is adhesive underneath

I have the painted front reflectors from IND too and they look great. I looked at the rear painted reflectors on their site too but not so sure about that particular mod. I think it would depend a lot on the exterior color as well. I would definitely want to see the same model and color as my car with it first. I am a little more worried about losing the rear reflectors than the front as well.

Just to help those who have the camera's. Here is a picture of the inside fender trim pulled back so you can see the camera. You have to reach over it and under it to get your fingers back there. I also covered my camera with a rag while heating the reflector.
