Mineral white reflectors?

I am trying to find painted mineral white reflectors for my car. Every place only has alpine white? Where did you guys get yours?

These are the ones you want. I have them in Mineral Grey, fabulous match.

Another MW owner asked the same question last week, he emailed IND and they made them for him. Not sure why they didn't update their site.

BJ: You should update the pictures in your signature as they still show those stupid, horrible orange reflectors. Cannot see the point of having them in the first place.

$75 for 2 painted reflectors, while a bargain to a rolex wielding individual, doesn't fly as far as I'm concerned. I will look for some other mean to get this done for less...

There is no point... They are a DOT(government) requirement.

You drive a $50,000 car. $75 for a pair of perfectly matched reflectors shouldn't break you. Other brands are cheaper, like $50, so you're out of pocket difference is $25. If you like, I can start a fund-raising campaign for you and your family in this forum, probably raise that $25 in a month, maybe less.

They are OEM BMW F30 reflectors that are painted FYI, not plastic filler slugs, so they fit perfectly as well, probably why they cost a bit more.

I'm with BJ on this one. Nate mailed mine quick, and I already have them. Just waiting on the car to be redelivered. It's the one "must do" mod and you might as well go OEM for the minimal price difference.
