        Phone pics do this beast no justice. The craftsmanship and quality is outstanding. Not many people that do things to the level Johnny does.

              It's a thin reflective layer directly on the paint, then a fiberglass backed layer, then another layer of the thin reflective layer to finish and give the nice shiny appearance, installation is the key

                        The fiberglass backed stuff is from DEI, I cant remember what reflective tape I used, I still have left overs but have no idea where they are amongst the massive amounts of Rubbermaid bins of parts I have for this build
