I bought some, they took a little while to get here, but they look great. The paint match is perfect.

I've got a set and I'm not 100% happy with them. They have painted over the part # lettering on the front so it is visible through the paint.
I e-mailed them about this and their response was "we can't sand them because of plastic bleeding issues" and then in the next sentence they offered a "special set" for an additional $30 more, which, guess what, would be sanded. My response to them is - why don't you post this info in your e-bay add and let the customer decide. Not doing so is deceptive. They also won't take them back without a 15% restocking fee.

He says its his brother....I noticed the same thing. And yes, the letters are visible, but you have to super close to notice it. It's not like they were invisible with the orange reflectors; what do you expect? If you're looking for something that clean, then get a euro bumper.

I was referring to mattwhite's complaint about the lettering showing through.

In my opinion if you want to advertise a smooth surface then it should be stated in the auction right? as far as I see they didnt say they were going to give you a smooth surface and didnt...they advertised painted BMW OEM refelctors.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting Second, stop the sloppy reasoning. Of course they shouldn't say everything they didn't do, just the relevant things. The fact that they themselves sell a set of OEM reflectors that are smooth indicates that not everyone wants ones with the lettering. Further, other high-quality companies such as evosport sell OEM smooth reflectors. This is obviously relevant information - why don't they put it in their ad, especially in light of the fact that the pictures they are using don't evidence it? The only reasonable answer given the fact that they a making two different sets, one with lettering and one without, is to mislead people.

as far as I know they are not making a factory OEM smooth set. What ever they offered you might have only been for you. Are the Evosport ones factory BMW? or did they manufacture their own?
looked at the ad you bought from and I do notice it says : Photo Displayed may not reflect actaul Product. Photo of Vehicle and reflector attached is actual product installed on customer vehicle. and a FYI that vehicle is my car and though standing 5 ft from the car you are unable to see the lettering. Guess what even mine have the lettering! lol no offence but you just might have OCD if that lettering bothers you that much.. I have actually heard good things about Evosport as well color fitment everything is on the spot just $60 more after shipping...

I take that back. They will be offering smooth sets but they are custom manufactured as Flush mount. They will not be factory BMW oem.

Maybe because other companys do? I will mention it to them to add that the reflectors are not sanded.

I bought painted reflectors from Longtran in a group buy for space gray. They don't even match space gray they are way to dark. On top of that he sent me two left reflectors! I also bought reflectors from Evosport and they are the bees knees expensive but worth it no raised lettering and the color match is perfect, and the shipping was super quick. As for Unibody 29s reflectors I cant comment beacuase i haven't recieved them yet and i ordered the evosports after the unibody 29s hope this helps anyone in the market to purchase these reflectors.

They are just painted stock reflectors...right? So if the stock reflectors have lettering on them wouldnt you expect them to be just painted over?
