Anyone tried AutoTecknic's painted reflectors?

Nawaaz · 07-23-2009, 01:01 PM

I was thinking about getting these for my IB E90 M3.

-Has anyone tried them?

-If so, how's the color, quality, and fitment?

Thanks for any help possible!

We just started stocking this brand and they are excellent quality, I can vouch for the paint finish.

We've gone through these and are now selling on the OEM product that IND is providing us. Had to have the best for you guys

Nawaaz, I'd ONLY get something that was the OEM piece painted over.

I got mine through 808 and am happy. IND sells the same pieces, as do a couple other vendors (**********s, etc). I think there's enough threads out there bitching about reflector fitment that I can safely say stay away from non-OEM, and whole-heartedly recommend IND's pieces.

Alright. I may go for the OEM one's then. Thanks schadenfreude.

I got my from Simon@RennSpec. It's a non-OEM pieces. There is a very tiny gap on the right top corner of the reflector. Over all I will give the paint job and fitment for 97%. You will only see the gap when you are super close to the reflector and stare at it. RennSpec also sells the OEM too.

Thanks Johnny. I saw those also for $5 more compared to the AutoTecknic one's.

Here's the link to the OEM one's at Renn-Spec: http://www.renn-spec.com/product_p/bmw-e9x-ref.htm

Are these the OEM one's that are the best set of painted reflectors out there?

Nawaaz,

Try contacting Taylor at Ape Performance, he's local here in Dallas..I'm getting mine Saturday from him. He's got them from IND. He probably has them in stock and can get them to you Saturday also

Auto Tecknic reflectors are a great product also, I have a few friends running them and they look and fit almost flawlessly.
