Thanks for the heads up. Should be fine, I think it just showed my id...unless you're reffering to the product ID not sure why, but he would have been prompted to login at checkout.
We'll see if I get a set of Blackout Reflector Overlays delivered to my house, lol!
Yes, the product comes as a set.

Finally got it!!
It took about 2 weeks to deliver =T probably because i'm all the way up here in toronto hah, but it's alright.
Here are some pics, sorry about the quality, they are off my iphone.
Pretty simple DIY, much easier than taking off the bumper and taking off the reflector and painting it.
There's some raised text on the reflector, to get it smooth and even over it so there are no air bubbles just take your finger and press against it and it'll seal itself against the text so it looks pretty good. Also the sharp corner on the outer part of the vinyl doesn't wrap around the reflector as cleanly as i'd like (the top, bottom and edge closest to the middle of the car i chose to wrap the vinyl around, but on the sharp corner you can't do that...). i guess in the future when using my power washer i'll have to be careful.
Here are some pics, before and after

it doesn't look bad with lighter color cars, but IMO if you are going to black out the reflectors it looks odd if you leave the break lights normal... so do both heh

Nice Job. JC, know it's already been installed for a couple days, but this film is different from our thick smoke film... It should respond well to a little heat from say, a hair dryer to help with that corner. Unfortunately it's kind of a tight fit to begin with, so wrapping can only go so far.
Hope you enjoy them!
