i see people with white/black/blue bumper reflector "plugs"
for their ep
and i'd like to know where to get some for my NHBP
my rear one is crack and i hate the way the reflectors look
i want to just get rid of them and shave them and paint to match the black ep but i cant afford it yet
so i wanna get something to put in the holes for now

Where are you seeing these plugs at?
As far as I know, people just have a body shop fill the holes.

I think SHG(the silver car you posted) either made those himself, or painted his stock lenses.

these are just people painting/tinting their stock lenses. if i were you i would buy either the clear or black ones off of ebay and either color match them or use VHT nightshade to tint them. that way if you dont like it you can just put your stocks back in and not have to search all of planet earth for affordable stock lenses which are like $80+ from the dealer. it seems like you have an NHBP so my vote would be: buy 4 black lenses off ebay, buy a can of VHT nightshade, spray said VHT on said lenses, looks blacked out but still lets light through, win.

yeah i shaved mine off and i love it. i think i paid 300 for shaving it off and repainting the bumper
cops will never know the car came with bumper lights or not. lol

-_- 300 is quite pricey compared to replacing my broken rear and tinting that also(only cost $60 at most)
but it does look so much better w/o it...

I shaved mine with fiberglass. Cost me less than $10 and about an 1.5hrs to do so. If someone in Socal wants to donate their bumper for a hour or two, I'll write up a tutorial on how to do so. Both the fiberglass method and plastic welding.

And btw, as for as the "plugs"... I'm pretty sure people paint them, vinyl wrap them, or just smoke them. I guess if you didn't want to repaint your bumper... I would remove the bumper lens, sand them down thin... or seperate the lens and the lens' body, fill it, sand it, then wrap, paint, or what ever with it... that way it looks more flush.
