Yeah, I'll join this too---> What rear corner reflector?

 

[Kevin2811]

Behind the rear wheel on (or in) the bumper. Someone is selling clear markers on ebay for $20 bucks plus shipping.

I'm gonna get those too, but not off e-bay Any way I was wondering how easy they come off, now I'm scared.

theres one just under the gas cap, and another on the same spot on the other side of the car.

anyone have any pics with clear instead of red?

OK, just my opinion - For the good of all Mustangs - Pleeeeeaaaassssseeee keep the originals on! I like the smoked headlights, but when you start putting in clear marker lens, then it will be clear tail lights, then dropped into the weeds, then a huge azz wing on the back...soon it will smell of rice. Again, just my opinion...

When in doubt use explosives!

check out the pic of nickthegenius's car. it looks good. very subtle, but not bland. it took me a sec to figure what was different. it really doesnt look rice at all. and its actually whit in color more than clear i guess

OK, agreed, Nick has a nice ride. And the marker kinda blends in with the color of his car (or, at least it doesn't stand out).
I just really don't like clear, chrome, carbon fiber or whatever tail lights. But I do like Nick's tail lights. Non stock subtle changes are ok if they are tasteful, but majorly different loud and obnoxious mods are what make ricers what they are. It is nice to see minor mods that make our Stangs individualized, but only to a point. But, this is simply my opinion. It is, after all, a free country.

Thanks for the kind words on the car!

Its been awhile since mine were installed, but IIRC there was two posts molded into the back of the reflector that go through the bumper cover and are fastened with nuts. I couldn't get the nut off with the bumper on the car and had the reflectors installed on my new rear bumper when it was installed. When I did mine, other members on here said they did them without removing the bumper cover, but I just couldn't get to both nuts

BTW, on my silver car they blend in with the bumper better than they appear to in the picture.

hmmm unaccesable bolts GULP! Guess I'll order em any way and let you guys know how it works in a few weeks.

Yes they are bolted inside of the fender, and yes they are a pain in the azz to remove without taking off the bumper. I took mine out to paint my car becasue I didn't remove the bumper. I have a set of clears reflectors if anyone is interested they are brand new I didn't like how they looked on my black car so I stuck with the red ones. $24 shipped.
