They do not have the reflective paint. That is the problem. And also if I do not like it. I can just peal it off. If its painted .... Then I am screwed. So baby steps 1st.

why does it have to be reflective? you might want to be careful with putting reflective tape on your car, if you find a leo on a bad night he could probably find something to write you up for. reflective tape on the front of your car seems like it would be distracting to oncoming traffic on 2 lane roads.

Its going on the front, sides and back. Since its orange. Its no different then the turn signal lens. Red or blue would be bad.
This car doesn't see the streets. Its really a plated track car. Sport bikes use the stuff all the time.

I did find some glow in the dark stuff. Outline the whole car... Now that would be distracting!!!

Oh, I don't mean it as in I don't like it. I live it. It's a widebody track car. Who wouldn't like it? Lol. Its a great machine but I'm just saying. I guess I'm the only one that notices that the pics are on quite a few threads.

a pro could definitely do this for you. the process for making the paint reflective requires spraying glass media into the paint while it is still tacky. your average mexican probably can't do it but a paint shop should be able to.
