The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 How would I acheive this on a HR 350z? I'm thinking that I have a few options: Spray original ones with tint spray, Buy clear white ones and then spray with tint spray, Wrap them with vinyl or the like, Source black reflectors (as this would look best and still act as a reflector, but where can I get this from?) Any advice on this would be great. Hated the fact that in Wales, mine was one of the very very few with the stock orange reflectors. Need to get this changed. TBBK aka Dips.

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Tint film! Didn't think of that. Would window tint film work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Should work yes. Id be very surprised if you could get HR reflectors for that kind of money. Ive not seen them for much less then £80 anywhere, nevermind tinted ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watshot Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) I had the same problem some years back as the reflectors were both limited and expensive, so I fabricated something different. Nothing unusual about mesh, but it can look a bit rubbish if it's just slapped across the back of a gap and everything else is visible through the hole. To appear factory original, as I'd had on other cars, it needs to be shaped, and the back needs filling in to hide bright washer bottles etc that show through. I used the original reflector to create the shape for the mesh, then colour coded it to match the front slats. Some matt black plastic recessed in the hole blanks off the gaps. It's not as bright as the camera makes it appear. Edited June 5, 2013 by Watshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
