It would help to have pictures from more of a distance but I have a feeling it will look extremely tacky without the reflector in there and the strip just sitting like that.

Curious to see what that looks like all lit up.

Actrually look pretty good with the reflector. You should do the rear one as well.

looks okay, but you should def do the rears in red to complete the look if you decide to stick with it.

+1. The corners look pretty good, id like to see what they're like at night though (lol more pics). I think with reflector is better IMO.
