MP2050.... EXACTLY!

No the reflector is red......MP2050 it looks like you painted your reflector white on the pic of your car at car domain. If so can you tell me what you did. Thanks.

Well you'll find plenty of info on painting the red yourself-I did at first but the white wont hold up with spray paint

It was then done by the shop that painted my whole car and it looks so much better and I was guaranteed it would hold like the car....

How much would a shop charge just to get that one panel painted? Nothing exact just a estimated price range.

are you sure you have an SE-L.... it sounds like you have a regular sentra... or one that was rear ended.

Depending on your color you can add a vinyl decal across the center piece. I used black and it cleans and shines like the factory paint. In the end you can take off the vinyl if need be.

Nice job on your rear. Looks sweet. Where di you get the vinyl?

Yes I have a SE-L. Not all se-l came with white blinker lights. Some came with orange. I know im not the smartest when it comes to cars but I know what kind of car im driving...atleast give me that.

of course you know what you're drivin' , me and my 350z hate when people mistake us for a 99 sentra GXE LE. It really gets to me and then i have to dustem'...........oh wait, i do drive a 99 sentra...my bad......j/k

I got the vinyl from a local speed shop. Just extra scrap so it wasn't much money$. I went for a new piece and they wanted an arm and leg so no new vinyl yet.

i've NEVER seen or heard of a se-l that didn't come with that piece. i HAVE heard that most places will replce it with the cheaper gxe rear section if the car gets in a wreck or something.
did you buy the car new?

(not being rude, just saying that that trunk panel is part of the styling you pay extra for with an se-l)

yea that was my impression as well

I need to see a pic of this, because I'm almost 100% sure all 99 se-ls came with a clear turn signal.
