Painted Reflector quality

Hey gang...I recently purchased an '08 e92 335xi (Monaco blue w/Dakota black interior), actually less than a week ago. Loving the car so far!

I have been scouring he site for comparisons on quality of painted reflectors, but haven't been able to find anything specific to my question, which is...

ECSTuning has their painted reflectors on sale for roughly $12.00 + shipping. Other vendors have theirs for sale from $60-75. Can anyone vouch for the quality of the ECS reflectors and provide any input on how well the Monaco blue matches our OEM paint? $12.00 seems to be good to be true, but one never knows unless they ask or just bite the BB and buy them.

What say you?

I appreciate the offer and willingness to stand behind your product. I am actually up in Folsom (no, not in the prison ...), otherwise I would most definitely stop by.


Can anyone else provide input?

Definitely go with JLevi. I got my set of painted reflectors from them. They are flawless and look great. I've had them almost a year!
