Default PIC REQUEST: shaved off SC front orange reflector light!

u guys know what im talking about.. the front orange reflector on the sides of the front bumper... has anyone shaved theirs off to give the front bumper a clean look. well, at least i think it looks cleaner without it(and cheaper as i wouldnt have to get clears).

well my sc is a black 97. i currently just spray painted the reflectors black and removed the bulb(looks cleaner imo). my front bumper is going to need repainting and i was thinking of shaving off the front reflector.

HERES HOW IT CURRENTLY LOOKS


REQUESTS: please post pics of your shaved off reflectors, how you had it shaved(bondo/fiberglass), and any comments pros or cons!!!!! thanks =)

If you weren't in CA I'd say go for it. It looks really clean.

I doubt a cop will even notice you without a side relector, let alone pull you over for it- but none the less it is illegal- I say go for it
