Came across this pic the other day. I think it looks awesome. Is that a custom CF/CF look-alike piece, or were there more made?

Sorry, but that's hideous. I think it takes a certain color to pull off the painted reflector. Also depends on certain mods. My black SVT looks like the reflector was painted black from the factory, as it flows very well. Silver SVT's might not look so factory, as the black plastic and seals that go around the reflector break up the flow. Stazi's looked really nice, as he also had his lower valance painted silver to match.

The only thing I dont like about painted reflectors is that the inside edge of the tail lights doesnt look right. I looks like something was just hacked off. That is why I went this route: [whore]

oops, forgot the pic

HAHA! That's my car!! I did spray the whole reflector/tail lights with niteshades. I redid it last summer so it'a a little darker now. I'll try and post some pics.

I'm a functionality guy, I donno, painted reflectors just defeat their purpose

If I had an svt to paint a rear reflector and being a functionality guy, I'd blend the rear reflector to the trunklid. Couldn't be that difficult to do
