There is also mirror polish stainless steel but again... not cheap. I'll double check what the technical name for that finish is and post so you can at least take a look at it.

Yeah its looking like the really good stuff would make this project more expensive than buying the real thing. So I have to look at materials and see if there is a cheaper product that has a good reflection and hopefully is relatively thin. We'll see.
