Why not do the rear reflector delete as well?

Lastly, how much better are the M performance floor mats compared to stock? I'm on the fence weather to do those or get all weather mats.
The orange on the front reflector was the worst, the red one at least matches the taillight, so it wasn't a priority. These reflector things are a pain to get off only because the glue is tough to get off without taking the wheels off.

AFAIK the rear reflector is even worse, because I don't know how you can get them off without doing bumper stuff, if there's a tutorial, I just haven't seen it.

Door sills are easy, just finding the angle and using some pressure to get the little plastic things off. Using the fork trim tool helps pull the plastic tabs off the car after, to then put back on the new sill.

I have all 3, the all-weather, and stock fuzzy plus these, I just prefer the M branding + I am in Missouri, not much bs on the ground and the rubber obviously gets dusty and you can see the dirt. They work really well though.
The rear reflectors do require popping off part of the back bumper but they are clipped in versus any adhesive. IND has posted some clips of the install via IG and FB stories. Overall not too difficult from the looks of it.

Glad to hear the door sills are easy, maybe I'll get a set of those too. I was afraid they'd be a pain in the ass with adhesive or something so I didn't want to get them. Although I wonder if they'd be almost too much carbon fiber…I'll have CF trim, CF exterior package, CF front lip, and CF side blades. Lol.

I do like the M branding on the performance mats. Maybe I'll just see if I can get the dealership to throw in a set when buying the car before ordering.
