Quoted from ita47:

I will second the request for a Stern Stars mirrored backglass, I need one!

I third that emotion! Need Stars!

Got my new Stars mirrored backglass from CPR installed. I am VERY happy with it.

The original is ~3/16" thick and the CPR was ~1/8" thick so I could not use the same lift channel and trim. The new 1/8 plastic trim from Marco was really tight to install but I got in on with some force. The 1/8 metal lift trim from Marco was too tight, I needed to widen it to get it to fit the CPR glass and then widen it a bit more to fit with some electric tape padding in the lift trip gap. (a big pain, but its done!)

The first image is my original (left side) and CPR (right side) with the power off. No perceivable difference, other than my lighting and reflections. (The lines around the STARS letters are pink in both even though the original appears more red in that photo.)

The second image is the same with the power on, and in lamp test so the lamps behind all the wording like "GAME OVER" and "MATCH", etc was on. The large orange planet on the left appears to have more detail on my original, but that detail was from touching up, and not originally there.

On the CPR glass, the square shape of the shroud around each word like "GAME OVER" is visible, while shadow of the shroud is not visible on the original, which is one difference between the original and CPR. You can see it in the photos. (Those LEDs flicker in test mode, so the wording looks dim, but it is bright and clear in normal mode and looks fine, also "TILT" looks orange because I have an incandescent bulb there, and I also have some incandescent bulbs behind the ship to accent the orange flames, just FYI.) I might try adding some filters over those controlled LEDs like "GAME OVER" to hide those shroud shadows if I get bored.
