I already have my car but no painted reflectors. I thought these were going to be delivered in a timely manner?

As I've posted before, I don't think most group buys are worth the hassle and uncertainty to save a few bucks. I'm getting mine from Evosport.

What do you mean first batch? I thought you had all the parts in stock? Everyone paid up weeks ago...

not all the reflectors are here. they are coming in when they get in. thats why i said the first batch. i ordered the reflectors before the m3 even hit the show room. its not easy getting those reflectors since the car is so new.

i went to check on the parts today and we ran into a problem. i tried making them nicer so i requested the DOT numbers sanded down. i guess sanding down the plastic was a bad idea. the paint is giving a bad reaction. plus the letter are sinked in now. i have to figure out how to fix this. sorry guys about the delay. here are the pics i took with my phone.

Evosport
They are an extremely reputable and high quality shop. They have extended capabilities and campaign their own race cars, like Turner, bimmerworld, etc.
