Looking at pictures of my car in black and white, I would like to get rid of the orange side markers.

Should I buy these (https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-557092-painted-reflectors-pair-for-e92e93/?pdk=Ag), get them elsewhere cheaper, or take mine out and vinyl wrap them or do something to them?

What do the good folks of the mafia do in this case?

I have them on my ZHP, but have tint overlays for the F22 & F30. Here in Virginia some owners have failed the annual state safety inspection with the painted lenses.

Well, I found some alternatives for like $21 on Amazon that are blackish looking.

Can help but think that the original color would look better but ~$100.

No check of any kind on vehicles in KY!

Yeah, there are smoked/blackish & clear/whitish reflector replacements available for the post-E9x cars on Amazon, eBay & Alibaba. Might look a bit better than amber, but it depends on the car's color.

Might as well grab a $5 square of dark tint or black vinyl and see if they come out ok wrapping them yourself. I like the idea of tint since they'd maintain some functionality at night.

^ yeah, I have an idea... we'll see if it looks good or bad. Thinking silver cube tape with some orange peaking through. Easily reversible if too ghetto.
