Body-coloured corner reflectors?

Tried searching the forums, but couldn't come up with anything useful.

Any of you know where I can procure body-coloured covers to replace the out-of-place orange/amber corner reflectors? I imagine they'll look quite a bit cleaner than the stock or clear corners.

Thanks in advance!

I think on dark color cars it looks great with vinyl. If I had silver I would go with clean corners

Take them to any auto body shop and give them your paint code. They'll know how to paint over and coat the plastic. IMO, and as stated above, I think this looks best on darker colors.

Anybody who's done this have pictures? I'm curious what it looks like on the 8.
