Default Rice?

Hey guys what are your opinions about these carbon fiber reflectors covers. I was never a big fan of the reflectors, I currently have them painted to match my car but thinking of changing it up with these reflector covers. Yes or no?

I think it'll look good on SGM or something, not too sure though.

no, its not. 95% of the cars DONT have reflectors on the bumper. we have them in our tail lights as well.

and yes, i say they will look dumb and ricey, but its your car.

But those cars all have the reflectors incorporated into the tail lights. All cars must have some type of rear reflector.

Yes, and why not just remove the indentation in the bumper too.
