Nice, how hard was it? Been thinking about doing mine; how good was the match to vermillion red?

IND will be your best bet for color matching (any color)... they take your VIN and use the proper paint and bake them onsite. Color matching was perfect on my SBM

Don't go cheap with some eBay ones, not worth it...

I got mine too and they were perfect. I would highly recommend getting them from them.

Sorry, friends took me out for my birthday on Saturday and I never got to install. Maybe I can do them before I head out to Orlando for the weekend.
This guy here bought them in your color if you want to see how them came out.

Finally got around to installing the Front LCI paint-matched reflectors from IND. I got a little bit intimidated by the DIY since the car has 250 miles. I took it over to John and the great guys as Impressive Auto Center. They also installed my matching Titanium Center Mesh Grills. Style 215s in Gray are also installed.

I didn't get a chance to take pictures because we had storms all day, it was a outdoor disaster right after installation. The car is dirty and its dark so these are the only pictures I could take. While the flash helped it also exposes how dirty it is and also throws a few extra unnecessary highlights and shadows on things. I just wanted to show how perfect of a paint-match IND performed. Worth every penny!

I will be taking a little shoot of the car as soon as its sunny and its got a fresh wash. I know its a little reflector but it really makes the car look "whole" now. I cannot stand amber reflectors :D

(BTW my Black Center Mesh Grills are for sale, for anyone who is doing the full blackout look)

I did the front ones, color matched, on my 2008 -- it was well worth the effort.
I would not recommend changing the rear ones due to safety reasons. They are more functional.
