Got quite the theme there nvm :) I reckon do the whole rear wiper in green. Maybe the upper valance line in green as well? Also it's a shame we can't get reflector delete kits as the bumper looks kinda cluttered imo. Are you using plastidip?

I'm still looking at other Green parts, but the wiper will stay as is I didn't like it all green. Everything is being done in 2-PAC, that's why it's trial and error process lol.

Fair enough. I'm not really the guru on external modelling. What you're doing is all in keeping with the car's fun style anyway.

Vinyl cutouts might be the trick? I might look into that myself. Then again reflectors do actually have a function. I wish they could make them somehow subtler. Why not using a part of the rear light cluster? If some drunken fool rear ends for car and you've got vinyl cut outs just be sure to peel the said mod off before the insurance assessors arrive lol.

A little bit of dark tint would make the reflectors stand out less, but still do some reflecting.

How did you remove the diffuser to paint it?
You can remove it without taking off the whole bar. There's 2 pot rivets on the ends, 2 plastic nuts in the middle that are finger tight and a series of clips holding it to the next part of the bar. Some of the clips are hard to get to, but you use a screw driver and push clip down and out.

Thanx, tho one more question...how did you find the clips? I cannot see them and do not have a lift. Could I feel for them then break off somehow?

Australia has the Euro version FiST, so not sure if it's the same. I didn't lift the car, I did it off the flat of my back (I'm not a small guy). Some are hard to find and tight spots, you might end up with some cuts lol. Start on one end and work across, the 3 clips in middle are the firmest.
