I agree with you, my feelings are mixed also. Looks good without, but nothing to break up the bumper.

I must have stared at those pics for a few minutes before I saw it. That leads me to believe almost noone outside of this forum would ever know they were gone. Of course, if you don't like them and think it's worth the money, go for it!
Do no aftermarket replacements exist for the entire rear or are they all just valances/lips?

i dont think the rear bumper looks good with the reflectors imho. there really is no need for them aslo i believe so ive been wanting to get blue vinyls from rvinyls to match my paint and hopefully make them look less obvious? either that or perhaps even paint the reflectors ..??

I think it looks cleaner without them.

you can get a body shop to color match the reflectors. just have the shop paint over them.
it looks much better. here's a pic of mine color matched.

I'm not an IS owner but I like it better without that reflecter. I agree the butt looks bigger without it. I like big butts.
