Rear bumper reflectors replacement?

Anyone know of a place to buy silver reflectors for 2013 TL rear bumper?

Sort of like this without messing with reflective tape?

most of the folks that have altered their reflectors on the site, used tint. I haven't seen a silver alternate to the colors avaliable.

Wow, black reflective tape huh...I'm intrigued.

I wonder if you could try mirror tint on your reflectors? That may give you the silver look and maintain the reflective capabilities.

EDIT - I bet that black reflective tape is not sufficient to prevent harrassment from Johnny Law, since the rear reflectors are supposed to be red.

^^ do all states require the reflectors to be red, or just have reflective capability?

I'm pretty sure all states require an orange reflector in the front and red in the rear.

I can't help but wonder what it would look like...not enough wonder to spend the money and time trying it though, especially since it could still lead to a ticket.

No, I'm talking about the amber piece that so many people remove from their headlights. It's no coincidence that all cars come with those. It's a requirement in most, if not all, states.

I assume you had an "ah ha" moment reading my above post...realizing that all cars do come with orange reflectors and that's what the piece was that you removed from your headlights?
