Opinion:Rear Reflector:Neat or Dorky?
I bought this Airpress rear panel on eBay. The first one I got was not shaped properly, and I sent it back. The one I got back had obviously been ground into shape. I suspect that the supplier takes units for another car and modifies them. It does make my car unique, but what do you think? Neat or dorky?

You asked for opinions, so...... IMO it looks dorky. (Actually, like a cheap 80's aftermarket center reflector)

Makes the car look cluttered, and as an accessory, right up there with "gold accents" or chrome wheel well/door sill trim.

They should try to keep the lines of the accessory in tune with the lines of the car.....

As a chrome "afficiando" I have no qualms with such accents...as long as the added accessories stops short of "pimpin'.
This one somehow interrupts the flow of the car's lines just by its placement...and that's not a good thing.

G, I agree on the chrome...simply meant that I've seen gold AND chrome on far too many MBs.
