You read way too much into my response, I could care less what you do with your car. In fact I've never even noticed your name before, had to look to see if your a new member.
I wanted you to see what a reflective stripe does in the light.
Also was just pointing out what I and others will notice when we walk up to a car on the street or at a show.
My second response was because you asked a question about the bumpers on my old car, no more or less.
Carry on with your plan without a worry about me.
