Rear Reflectors, now you see 'em, NOW you don't!

Thanks for the months long support during the build process. Took away far more knowledge than I was able to provide, but super stoked with the end results. A few mods at our global headquarters, then final images soon.

1. How do you install the rear reflector delete plugs? Does the bumper cover have to come off?

2. If it’s an easy install, can you please make them for the 718 Spyder? I have a Spyder coming in Python Green and the red reflectors drive me crazy.

Thanks!

I’m a little bit jealous

Wow! Beautiful spec. I'd like to think that somehow my bumper plugs I purchased back in 2008 for my E46 M3 helped make this happen in the tiniest way.

Appreciate the comments. Yes, Gentian/Black/Cognac. Black leather is Cognac stitched. And yes, your business certainly helped, but the real donor was Amazon (stock purchased long ago).
Some additional goods we did at the shop or post delivery:
CeramicPro
Ceramic Window Tint
Gentian Rear Reflectors
Monochrome crested valve stem covers
Crest (pics coming)
LED Clears
BlendMount and V1 here but not yet installed
Power wiring for V1 from leads on this forum

Understood - that's why we started doing them as soon as they appeared on models many years ago. But...the 718 uses a wired electrical version, with a backup/fog unit in at least one of them (usually driver's side). So yes, it could be done, but like some models (Cayenne and others) that have rear fogs, we typically leave them alone. Happy to put something together for you if desired. Email us at orders@bumperplugs.com and the vehicle info, and we'll confirm timeframe, pricing, etc.

For the 992 and other 911 variants, the units snap out and in, no need to remove bumper. For electrified versions like this there may be some wiring needed to be fished, but it should snap off and snap in also.

Thanks.

Good looking car Eric, congrats. Will you guys have PTS rear light covers? My car is Brewster Green.

Yes - PTS is on the drop down. We produce a factory sample from the PTS formulation, send to you for review against the vehicle, then produce the trim! Order anytime. Brewster is a killer color.

Beautiful! I appreciate your reply. Car is set to be delivered in November. I know what my first modification will be. I don’t really need a rear fog light in convertible. Thanks again!
