Front and Rear Reflector Deletes?

I used to black them out with kits that came with cut perfectly black stickers to put over top, I can't find that for the F90? What are you guys doing?
Thanks

did mine a few weeks ago, the rears took an hour because it was a pain trying to pinch the clips together to pop out, and for the love of god please don't put black-out stickers on your M5, it's not a Honda Civic

there are some good youtube videos, but basically crank the wheel to one side, loose i think 3 bolts, use a heat gun and a trim remove or bondo spreader, clean residue really well, and stick on the new ones, make sure it's warm for it to adhere. the M5 is one of the easiest models to do, i think the X5 is very involved.

I don't like the honeycomb look for the rear and had mine painted gloss black. But IND matched the individual Verde Ermes Pearl for the fronts...

Another F90 that looks flawless with these. Been on the to do list for a while, and you’re motivating me to actually get them done. The black rears really tie the back end together on a tuxedo color scheme car with your mods, counselor.

one side of the rear reflector took some time as it was hard as hell trying to punch the backside of the clip

I got my rear reflectors in gloss black wrapped, I looked into the acxxeon ones but I don’t like the fake vent imo it doesn’t flow with the gloss black diffuser trim. I’m gonna get the front ones paint matched.
