Has anyone come up with an aftermarket painted reflector that will fill in the hole completely? I think it would be nice to flush mount like the front reflectors are.
I want to delete the OEM reflector, but the painted ones look weird being recessed into the bumper.

If you dont care about the original reflector and you have the painted ones in hand, the best way to do it is screw a self tapping screw into the reflector(not all the way) and then just grab the screw with pliers and it will pop out.

If this bothers you then I would suggest buying a euro spec bumper.
The recessed reflectors look like a hole in the bumper if you just paint them.
