Congrats, I wanted tartufo/black but settled for night blue / black, which is ok up close but otherwise just looks like black. Tartufo/black makes a bigger statement.

Thanks, here's the link to the reflectors. You'll need a heat gun to remove them:

Since the car's is getting a new bumper, I order a new lower valance and CF rear diffuser.

Planning to color match the valance white to make the CF pop a bit more
