Nah. They are totally visible.

I deal with compliance and legal issues in the transportation industry - I wouldn’t jeopardize my position or take liability risk by attempting something I wasn’t confident was safe.

Different strokes for different folks, that's all. They may still be "legal" as far as visibility goes, but there's no question that visibility suffers. Not to mention there are also reflectors in the taillight housings that are compromised when smoked. But my main gripe with them is they just don't float my boat. Like I said, different strokes for different folks.

Anyway, molded spoilers look good! Can't wait to see all the sedans at the sedan mega meet in a few weeks (I'm rolling with Grant since he's borrowing my wheels, LOL).

imo there is no safety hazard in relation to the side reflectors… when light hits them, they still reflect (admittedly not as illuminant as without smoke, but no hazard there)… additionally, they illuminate when the lights are on and they blink with the turn signal.

Thanks for your concern though.

there is no silver G in the pics...

They are all the same custom molded spoilers form Auto Explosion... the (Porsche) Meteor Grey G had the spoiler molder over the turn signal (which was molded to quarter panel and painted over)

The fist one AE did was a UT style spoiler, then they made fiberglass versions of the same thing for the 2nd to Gs.

Sorry - not an simple answer... but its not a common mod either.

M3 is a very good choice before I decided to have one molded, I had planned to get an OEM M3.

I suggest getting a fiberglass replica though – it’s easier to cut, shape & fit if needed and poly has a tendency to show crease more when molded.

Good luck - I look forward to seeing your version.
