mirror finish side panels

[judgeboz]

I got together with a fellow pinhead today and put these on his LW3 pin.

I had some initial concerns thinking the reflection would put players off when playing but not at all. Its a great view from either side of the pin.

I think it looks very nice on LW3 - but it may not have the same impact on every pin.

Keen to hear people's comments on these mirror finish side panels.

Interesting.  But I like the look.

Definitely would not suit every pin.  I'd like to see it when the flashers are going off!   

Would look good on a T2 I reckon as well.

BEAUTIFUL!!! 

Would look awesome on GnR...where did you source them?

Looks good to me .
I'd put felt on the edge of the PF also to protect it

Verry nice would look good on my Star Wars DE as well. How are they fixed on?

Like to know where you can get them as well. Thanks.

This looks VERY nice. I have been using mirror on the small box that sits under the head box on my EM's this looks cool. I have a T2 and I might copy your idea

They look great and would look good on many machines!

There is a guy in SA who is making them to suit. If anybody is interested in a set email me at judgeboz@gmail.com and I'll put you in contact with him.

They are fixed on with 3 small screws.

hi great idea are these glass mirror? it must be thin as since I fitted stickers to my AFM and you need to be so carefull when you raise the playfield not to scratch them.

I saw it done a few years back on a Indianna Jones. Instead of adding the lost plastic to the back, and the sides, the owner added the mirrors.

Lots of Data East games have back mirrors which look great. example Star Trek 25th Anniversary rear back mirror.

I note, that the side mirrors make a standard body look like a widebody. The widebody with the mirrors looks HUGE but bloody nice. Just add LEDS and you could stare at the machine all night. 

I reckon the Mirror look gives alot of bang for ya buck. Well done John for showing us.

I went to a local glass/mirror factory today and asked for the thinnest mirror glass and asked if I gave them a cardboard template (or templates) could they cut to size and the answer was yes, and it was real cheap.

I will post some photos of my efforts when i get some done. A excellent improvement/mod.

note- 3m double sided tape is the answer to securing the bling mirrors without having to use screws etc.
