the stinger's reflectors start from the taillight and extend to the quarter panel, what i meant was just delete the quarter panel extension of it and leave the rest. horrible design styling and i also don't get how that can even be a safety issue when reflectors are usually on the BACK of a car not on the SIDES.. kia and hyundai designers do the most sometimes

Side marker lights or reflectors are also required, both at the front and rear of the vehicle.
Just saw a side view of the Stinger, and yeah, the designers didn’t put much thought into that rear side reflector. Apparently didn’t step back and take a look. Could have been done much better.

I do admit the rear side reflector is my least favorite part of the Stinger's styling, but for me it's not a deal breaker. It's also why when I was trying to get a Stinger I was ordering a red one, as it's less obvious.

I just looked it up since I saw so many mentioning the rear reflectors on this thread.

wow lol... who would have ever thought of making them like that? definitely not for me.

Side note to OP, congrats on the car. Looks like a nicely spec'd out vehicle and the flat bottom steering wheel is a nice addition (if yours has it). Even my BMW w/M package does not have a flat bottom, in fact none of the BMWs do, wish they did.
