Does anybody have anygood ideas to either paint the Rear Bumper Side Reflectors on a 2001.

Or Can you but inserts that black them out??

Thanks

use a sharpie....or mask off around your car and paint it flat black like I might do......they are a pain in the ass to just take off....so i would just do it on the car....i did use a sharpie on them and u hardly notice its on the car....my car its true blue so its pretty dark as is...looks like it just has a black tint on it

why dont you want side reflectors? it helps make the car visible at night from the side - keeps you from getting t-boned.

either way, they pop off like everything else on the mustang. just use a flathead screwdriver and go to town

if ur gona get T boned...i doubt the reflector are gona do nething if they are running a red light....

The are a pain to take off, because when I replaced my bumper to a GT bumper, they have those freaking weird screws on the back, and it is almost like I have to take off my bumper again, which that is not going to happen at all.

I thought about the clear ones, but I am not sure.

And good point with the night reflecting, something to think about.

well if ur gona get hit..u think someone will stop because they see on reflector in the rear ? wouldnt u see headlights first..or tail lights....or just a big ass car in front

where else does your car reflect from the side except the front headlight sidemarkers and rear reflectors?

kind of gives dimension to you at night

I almost hit some one on a bike back in may u know the only thing that saved his ass in the dead of night at 3 am?? he fuckin pedal reflectors the only reflector he didnt take off to be cool. seriously im with AB id keep them. think about it i even know this i would have hit this guy. so yes a tiny ass reflector no one thinks ppl see can make a difference.

they make tint spray ... that might work ... ya know what you use to smoke headlights ... or you could actually get some tint but i don't know how well that would work

you can buy a spray paint from vht called nite shades. just spray it over your markers once or twice and itll be smoked/blacked out. or you can just have them tinted. either way works but the spray is probly easier and cheaper

if your getting hit...there not paying attention...or are under some kind of influence...plain and simple...

[02ponypackage]

and people on a bicycle i can fully understand...they need reflectors...and or clothing with reflectors on it....but a car...yes it does help im not saying its not needed on a car but...the chances of that stop u from being hit is slim and none

buy some vinyls strips that go over them. thats what i got

[blazor]

buy THIS. $25 shipped and easy as hell to put on. and if you do not like it, you can take it off, unlike a tint spray.

or just take the time to remove a few screws so you can move you bumper out a bit and then take the reflector off and tint them with 10 dollar tint like i did...works fine

do you have pictures man?? i want to see what it looks like

[JASonic]

they have that vinyl that doesnt appear to be reflective in the day but does at night. Its a gray color.

I wonder if its illegal to remove them since its a safety thing. It would be cheaper for Ford to leave them off it it wasnt law right? Its not like people are buying a car because "reflectors are standard".
