Don't think you're going to find any front splitters/lips that come white from the MFG. You're going to have to get them painted.

Check out VRS/Araquay/3D Design/etc

I was talking about the orange colored side markers on the front bumper. I see ppl have white ones on their cars. Did they paint those? I thought someone would sell those plastic pieces in white............Do they not exist?

Just went to your website and saw the reflectors. Why would someone choose painted ones for a much higher price? just so they can match the color of their car?

correct. Some people just don't want their reflectors to be seen at all and choose painted. We also carry these in smoked/clear iterations as well.

Just get them molded into the bumper bro. Looks better IMO and the refletors you will get are always going to be off color

removed completely, filled in with plastic and made to look like a euro bumper

(**euro bumpers don't come with the orange reflectors as it is not part of their regulations)

I had this done, pics are below:

I agree on the molded part. Looks much better but may be out of alot of people's price range as it needs to be bondoed and repainted.

We guarantee a 100% color match on our painted items, just FYI

Just buy the painted reflectors, they're cheap and color matching on AW is pretty easy.
