Honesly man, ive been trying to find something like that for mine also......the only thing that i can come up with at all is jcwhitney sells a product that is insulation but it has a shiny side on one and sticky on the other. I was thinking of buying a new hood insulation piece and then taking and making something custom. Might want to try that. Hope this helps.

you can go that route by basically bolting it down but it isn't daily driver friendly.
go to a major hardware store or any place that caries plexiglass and look for a the mirrored version
cut out templates of how you want it to lay using some sort of paper, cardboard, or anything to get the impression and then cut away.
this is how it's usually done, you can use double sided tape or most like to use magnets. just remove them after the show.
good luck.

wouldn't a mirror get broken under the hood? i'd go with the polished alumminum it reflects if polished well and kept up it reflects just as well as a mirror would...wouldn't it?

Most major cities have industrial plastics and polycarbonate dealers; check the yellow pages. Standard mirrored polycarbonate is fairly common; the colored stuff is usually special order. It should be removed when driving, since it won't hold up to the heat.
