Painted Reflector pricing?

Just wondering but are there any cheaper options than IND and EAS for painted bumper reflectors? They both seem to charge around $90 plus like $15-20 for shipping?

If this is normal and the off brands' paint quality suck then I'll just bite the bullet and go with the IND ones.

that is typically the going rate if you're going to buy new from a vendor, it's steep yep but that's the name of the game lol

Yeah I don't mind the price, just wondering if there was cheaper options with the same quality out there.

I bought mine from IND, I believe they take new OEM reflectors and paint them. So it's the cost of an OEM reflector plus paint.

ended up contacting ryan@ind and bought the painted reflectors, couldn't be happier with the fitment and color match.
