it's a chrome vinyl material and yes it's very expensive around $95-100 per sqyd. i am not aware of the release/waiver to be signed but it's possible every state has different laws on signs and vehicle graphics. the pic i posted is the chrome vinyl with digital printing for the color and when you print on chrome it makes the colors look metallic.

Probably not as brutal as your avatar, cdg, but having had to shield my eyes from an ordinary flat glass rear window on more than one occasion, I can certainly agree with you.
