Hi!

It really looks wider ... do you have a photo at night - please?
Does it still shines red? Did you change the bulb into red?

The reflectors don't have light bulbs in them, it's just a plain reflector so they won't light up like the front side markers.

No... they should have no reflective ability any more.

Sorry I might have misunderstood you when you asked:"Does it still shines red? Did you change the bulb into red?"

The ones that I got now are not reflectors but painted plugs that don't reflect light.

Well then, I'd rather keep the reflecting reflectors and have the rear apron painted the body color.

Looks sharp! Considering it for mine, but would like to see what it looks like in white. Any pics flying around?

Stock is better. No feeling of being wider to me. No offense intended, sir.

I have perfect Anthracite Brown rear reflectors from BumperPlugs - Eric matched the color perfectly, but found after my first test-run that WA state will not allow them. (sigh!)

I have an incoming (next week I hope) white/red/red 991S Cab. I originally ordered the clear tail lights but changed to the standard so there would be a little colour contrast on the rear. I plan on keeping the red reflectors for that reason. The rear valance on the car is painted to match the rest of the body.
