tinting rear reflector

[torch23]

i just started moding my ride and i hate the reflectors on the rear bumper, is there any special way of getting them off to tint, or should i just tape around the refectors and spray?

Check out Sechemedia, they are a sponser on here, he has precut tints for all 4 reflectors, they are $15 for all 4. Go to his website and order it, there is free shipping and everything, I have them on my car and they really do spiff it up.

I used this stuff called SafeTape from Canadian Tire. It is black, but reflects silver at night. I took a sheet of paper to cut out a template and then transferred that to the tape and applied it to the reflectors while it was on the bumper.

There is also a guy on the Mazda3forums who sells pre-cut tints for the reflectors. Send me a pm if you want his info.

But that SafeTape stuff is a great option.

i spray tinted mine, and my car is going back to stock in a couple months. i'll gladly trade you. (mine are pretty dark, and dont reflect much...)

call me a hater, but why do you want to make your car less visible when parked at night? one time, some idiot in a PT cruiser with some ugly body kit (in which the rear bumper deletes the reverse light/reflector combo) parked facing the wrong way on my street (which isn't well lit) and I didn't even see the car till I was like 15 meters away! it was that gay eggshell white too... had I not drive at the speed limit, I could have hit it

Hence the Safetape. Looks good (especially on a black car) during the day, but maintain's the reflectivity at night.

IMO, don't spray coz you'll make it less reflective.
