Question Vantage Rear bumper reflectors in white

Im picking up my car from a car wrapper. Its been changed to metallic white with clear rear lights. (Pics to follow)

I want to remove the red reflectors and change them to white. Has anyone attempted this.

I found a vinyl sheet of reflective plastic but the guy doing the wrap said its not possible to cut it in any clean way. Also the red comes out of the sides of the vinyl since they are recessed.

It seems they are bolted on as well. Im tempted to get a spray can and just paint them white but would rather have them reflective white.

Anyone have any solutions?

I too was looking for a way to do away with the unsightly (IMO) rear reflectors. They look especially bad with the clear lights. I have not found anyone that sells clear ones but have considered paining them if I can ever get them out.

Any update to this topic. I'm swapping my red tail lights for led clear and wanted to do something with those ugly red reflectors?

timwhayden is infamous around these parts
I got a set of clear rear reflectors and clear side marker lights from Nickolas at the V Collection a couple years back. Not sure he has them anymore but would be worth a call.
