So I wrapped my grill in reflective vinyl...

I wanted the bmw stripes on my grill but wanted to be different. So I had them wrapped in reflective vinyl by a friend. tell me what you think? I really like it and think its cool personally. the 2 evening shots are with the camera flash on and you can see it from a good bit away. The other one is how it looks during the day.

its probably impossible to capture in a photo... so its hard to say.

personally, since you asked, its not for me.

Cops look for reflective surfaces to point their radar/laser at to give them a better/quicker reading. Just an FYI

I think they're better off pointing it at the paint and/or the license plate.

either is insignificant and makes no difference.

Unless your car is covered in radar absorbing material (think stealth aircraft), they have plenty of things to bounce the signal off of.
