CPR's mirroring is pretty good. I think the original glasses are a tad shinier but CPR's mirroring is definitely not grey. This image from their F-14 glass (which I've ordered and can confirm) gives a good idea of how it looks.

Had no idea that producing mirrored backglasses was so hard and also always wondered why they were able to seemingly do it for every game back in the 70s/80s but can't do it now. Definitely curious to learn more about the process they used back them (did they legitimately just screen print onto a full mirror?)

With that said I think CPR's mirroring is pretty damn good all things considered. I'm very happy with my PinBot, F-14, and TZ glasses.

Also what prompted Williams to make official repro parts for a 15 year old game in the mid 1990s? I find that fascinating.
