From what we know about his car, I assume that our friend nicoli has super neat (and clean) underwear
I guess that if you get pulled over you could always try to make the cops believe that the reflectors are part of the tail lights
In the end, it really comes down to how much a cop wants to give you a ticket -for good or bad reasons-

hehe, no ticket but after putting them on noticed how every single other car has the two red reflectors. Also noticed how good they are for safety, and then, looked up the code online for WA state and sure enough, they are required. I have no problems with the local PD and Sheriff Dept., they have always treated me fairly..just decided not to push it.

I should have looked that up before ordering them, but its all good. They are really nifty.

I would like to install these on my 991. After researching Ohio law I have found this out: We have to have 2 red reflectors, one on each side of the rear. If part of our rear tail lights have red reflectors built-in we could install these legally. I don't think the 991 tail light have built-in reflectors.

You should be fine. The Panamera is one of the car that I can think off that does not come with rear reflector from the factory.

Ok I will risk it and see what happens. Haven't cleaned the car in a week or two and she's pretty dirty but I did hose her down a brief minute for these pics.

Thanks to Eric @ Bumperplugs for my anthracite brown rear reflectors and his quick turnaround, great quality matching painting and even catching a typo in my mailing address.

Pics taken with an iPhone 5 so color etc might be a bit off.







P.S. Black Ceramic Fabspeed exhaust tips coming soon!

thanks!! Will report on the tips when we get 'em..I'm not exactly sure what they will look like. Fabspeed was out of the black chrome tips and these are (or will be) freshly made apparently.

Congrats!! I love em! I used a soft but firm thin tool (wife's small spatula not the best thing to use I'm sure) and pushed in one side while working it into the small gap that created on the other side. Just basically slowly carefully wiggled it until it popped out if I remember correctly. Good luck!
