I guess it depends on the reflector and trim. On mine, it's embedded at least 1 cm beneath the trim surface, which would make it very hard to mask. (It's hard enough to get residue wax out, with the acute angles and depth.)

I, personally, do not mind the rear red reflector. It's just the stupid orange thing on the front.

Those are known as directional lights, or "blinkers" in colloquial.
Personally, I prefer them over the flag that pops out from the door post in older models.
