Question Reflectors on Bottom of Rear Bumper ? Opinions Needed!

I know that this maybe somewhat RICEY to a lot of members but let's please try and keep the RICE! posts to ourselves, etc. All of the newer cars these days IS250/350, TSX's, even cheaper cars are all putting reflectors at the bottom of the rear bumper just for safety reasons and because they look like additional taillights when they're lit up.

Here is a picture of them on my brother's IS300:



They're basically just reflector stickers that adhere to the rear bumper and I think they look pretty damn good for what it's worth. What do you guys think? Look like a-s on the G?

Im going to have to say no. The G has great body lines and i wouldnt want to go messing that up by sticking reflectors to the bumper

The ones with OEM reflectors (at least what I've seen and owned) aren't really "stickers". They are integrated into the bumper. They are screwed in from the back on some cars. I think a generic stick-on reflector on the G would be tacky.

Either way it wouldnt look good. The rear bumper is just to clean to go doing something like that

No, don't do it.. It looks very tacky and people will think you're a cop or something.

The G's backside is the best part. Why change it?

Lol, all I said was rice, rice, rice when he first did this but for some reason I guess just seeing it everyday it grew on me. But regardless I will NOT put any stickers on my G, except for eyelids.

If you do the rear, make sure you do the front, sides, top, everything. You wouldn't want the rest of the car to feel left out, would you?



I'm kidding, please do not do it.
