How much did you guys pay for the reflectors? I got an invoice for $375 for a set of 4 reflectors for the rear.

$149 for the 2 rear reflectors (?why would you need 4?) and $199 per pair of the clear side markers.

rynacd, I agree they are expensive but for the look I got it was worth it to me. As usual it is a personal decision.

$375 to get white ones, + fitting charges, then more $ to tint them darker?

Why not tint the ones you already have, seems much simpler.

For the red/white reflectors, I'd worry about reflecting white light back to following cars, even if you dim that white by tinting them

MichaelD, i already have the stock ones tinted but i don't like the look of the tint over red reflectors. Never been a fan of it, especially on large surfaces such as tail lights. Since the reflectors are small, and i want to match the carbon theme i think it looks fine, but clear will be much better.

I also tinted the clear side markers and there's a significant difference in the look from clear and red reflectors. You can say i'm really picky =)

^^^Can you snap a couple of pics of the two variants and post them for us? I think it's safe to say that we're all picky about our Astons.

Sure no problem. I'll install and take some pictures after my car returns from Vorsteiner (i'm estimating 4-5 weeks).

Does anyone sell the clear reverse lights and rear side markers? I've been on the waiting list with V Collection for one year now.

I assume you mean the rear reflectors and not reverse lights (which are integrated into the taillight clusters). I waited for weeks and had numerous discussions and promises from Nick but was never able to get the clear indicators or reflectors from him. Got tired of the lack of follow-up and just gave up on the entire idea.
