Just had these installed and I am very pleased with how it turned out. I ordered them from Nicholas at The Vantage Collection of which I have no financial ties to at all.

Looks awesome. Been trying to buy a set for my car, but Nicholas says they're sold out and is waiting for a new batch. I didn't know they also had clear reflectors. How much did those cost, if you don't mind me asking?

Also, did you have problems getting in touch with him? He doesn't always respond to my calls or emails. Spoke to him briefly on Monday, he said he would call me back in a few hours and I still haven't heard back from him.

Karl, haven't gotten the invoice from him yet but I believe he said they were $40 or $60 for the reflectors. He is very leisurely about getting back to you. Have had better luck on phone than email.

Wait. You already have them installed on your car and you still haven't paid for them or received an invoice? How did that happen?

I currently have the rear bumper off my car (different story) so now would be the ideal time to install these, but he is taking his time to reply to me.

^^^It does. Wonder if it'd look as good on a dark car. Might actually call more attention to the markers in that case.

Nice! I didn't know they had clear reflectors.... Tim, did you have someone install for you or is this a DIY task?

DIY is a very relative term. It really depends on how handy and adventurous you are. The rear side markers and reflectors are fastened from behind. Replacing them entails removing wheels, wheel well liners, rear diffuser or airfoil, taillights, and the entire bumper cover. You may be able to access these areas without removing all these items, but this is how you normally do this job. If anyone is comfortable doing these things then, yes, it is a DIY job.

Astongirl, I had to have the bumper off for another reason and had them put on then. You have to get your hand up behind the old ones as they are held on by a fastener but the new ones are put on with double backed tape so Nicholas said. Would be tough with bumper on but may be possible.
