Who makes the best Painted Reflector??
I have seen a few where the paint is off. Who makes the one with the closest match?

I remember when I owned a pair of painted reflectors from IND. Paint was perfect and it never chipped. I would recommend their reflectors to anyone!
p.s. - I had an S2000 also haha. It's surprising to see so many previous S2000 owners now into the E92 M3. Great minds think alike!!

I've still got my S....couldn't give it up.
As to the reflectors, I don't think any of them look very well matched in the photos. They seem to stick out even more than the orange ones do, stock. My eyes automatically go to them. |

Is there a big difference between IND's Painted Kidney Grill and OEM Black Kidney Grill?
I know IND paints it Jet Black. But I wanted to see the difference between theirs and the BMW OEM Black.

Simple. IND, I have some and they are perfect match to the original paint. I bought reflectors, grills, side gill and hood pieces and not one has a flaw. I was very impressed.

The BMW OEM black is more like a black chrome, as to where the IND version is just a gloss black. That being said, at one point I had the IND gloss black grills on my M. I think the gloss black is the way to go because all of the window trim on these cars is also gloss black. Of course, this is just my personal opinion.

ok, so I ordered all of that from IND just now. I was about to order the dark tint LED for side grills but they come in Amber only. Any idea who makes those in white LED?

Good job man! I cant wait to see pics of your M once it arrives and once you get all the parts on. As far as the white LED side marker, I don't think I have ever seen that. I have only seem amber...

I would do some searching through the vendor area on there though, maybe even send a few vendors a PM and ask if that's something they can make for you...just because it's not listed doesn't mean its not available you know?

I've had two sets from IND in AW.
First set was discolored right out of the box. Exchanged them no problem and got a second set which were fine, but have now discolored as well. So my options come spring are to try a 3rd set from IND, have them shaved or go with a Euro bumper. I hate those damn reflectors... |
