JAKEe Mirror Polished CyberTruck

with Pyramid Sail Wrap side Panels

Lately, I have fallen in love with the look of a mirror polished stainless steel CyberTruck look. Just to be clear, when I say mirror polished stainless steel CyberTruck, this is achieved by having a professional metal polisher literally polish the hell out of the stainless steel panels on a CyberTuck, which is typically a process that takes several days and cost between $4500 and $8500. The professional polisher first sans the CyberTruck, then buffs and polishes it to a mirror finish.

My friend Mark, from Mark of the Beast recently hand his Tri-Motor CyberTruck Beast polished, and I published a detailed story that includes videos of the fascinating process. I kept telling Mark he needs to add my JAKEe rear sail pyramid panel wrap piece to complete the shape of the pyramid for the windows. Today I saw this killer photo pictured below that somebody took of a Mirror Polished CyberTruck that was reflecting a modern mid engine C8 Corvette. 

I decided to clean up the photo by fixing the sky, and removing all the power cables and then I added my JAKEe Rear Window Sail Pyramid Panel to the picture above to show Mark how great I thought it would look on his Beast. Then I realized, how insanely great this looks, and now I have decided when I get my CyberTruck I am going to do exactly this. It looks so great, and so NEXT-LEVEL, I am even thinking about delaying doing my two-tone black bottom JAKEe wrap design, as I love this looks so much!!! 

I discovered this image on FaceBook and if I understand it correctly, the mirror polished CyberTruck is owned by Marcus Reno, and the photo was taken by Lisa Gipson Haag.

One More Thing

Mark asked me if anybody sells the side faux window panels already cut, and I mentioned that T-Sportline does, and they call them "Tesla Cybertruck Rear Window Fade Out PPF Wrap Kit", but I pointed out to Mark that from what I can tell from some angles these sail panels don't look right or look kinda crooked.

I believe the solution to optimizing this looks is to also wrap the flat window sill area with black, which completes the look as seen below. This makes it look much more cohesive and organic and makes the rear sail panel look more real. By tinting the windows and adding black wrap to the window sill, it also make the CyberTruck look more masculine, kind of like the CyberTruck is wearing Sunglasses, and the extra black wrap has a mascara effect. Also, it doesn’t look like an afterthought sticker that got slapped on...

Decisions, Decisions?

I originally planned to wrap my CyberTruck when I get it with my original JAKEe CyberTruck Wrap design seen above, but I like the look of the Mirror Polished CyberTruck, I think I will do it first, and then maybe later add the black PPF on bottom, which I will now probably have to do in glossy, in order to match the top of the my CyberTruck which will have a mirror finish. This may not seem strange to you, but it does to me as I was stoked an confident I was going to immediately wrap it like my design above, so I can't believe I think I have changed my mind? I just think the mirror polished CyberTruck looks soooooooo RAD!!!!!! and soooooo NEXT-LEVEL, as it look otherworldly, and does not look at all like a standard CyberTuck...

Polishing A CyberTruck: Mark of the CyberBeast

 Polishing A CyberTruck

Mark of the CyberBeast

I am a YuuuuuuuGe fan of the Polished CyberTruck look, and I published a story on it back in October on TeslaMagazine.org. I thought about how cool it would be to do this when I get my CyberTruck, but I had so many questions and thankfully Mark from Mark of the CyberBeast mentioned to me when I spoke with him that he was planning to polish the stainless steel on his CyberTruck, and he decided to document the entire process!!! I reached out to Mark to ask him questions about his polishing project, and his brilliant answers can be seen just below the videos:

Q&A with Mark of the CyberBeast
Question 1: What made you want to polish your CyberTruck? 
"My wife and I love the rugged, masculine look of the metal, so I didn't want to wrap it.  It's not that we don't like them wrapped, but we felt it takes away from the intent of the design using that stainless steel exoskeleton.  We saw this and loved the look, it looks neater, more finished, especially in the sun where we live."
Question 2: How much will it cost you when it's done?  
"I've seen companies charge $8500 but Oliver's Metal Polishing who did it for me will be charging people around $4500, not much more than a PPF wrap and cheaper than a 3M wrap."
Question 3: How do you believe polishing your CyberTruck will affect the resale value of it? In other words, will it lower the value as it's no longer stock, or do you expect it to enhance the value as it will look way better? I realize you probably don't care about Resale value as you likely don't intend to sell it, but I am curious...    
"I don't think it will hurt, hopefully help but I still have my 13 year old Tundra so as you can guess, I have no plans on selling this, probably ever!  Someone can always wrap it if they don't like it."
Question 4: I mentioned to a friend of mine who owns a CyberTruck that I am thinking about polishing my CyberTruck when I purchase it, and he responded, "I would NEVER do that as the mirror reflection will reflect storing sunlight and blind people!". This seems to contradict what I thought I read in a post where the person said something like the light that hits the CyberTruck is reflected to the ground, and does not cause any kind of safety issues. Since you actually have a polished CyberTruck, I would like to separate the fact from the fiction in my article about your CyberTruck.   
"In motion, you really don't see such a harsh mirror and due to the angles it really isn't as bad on other drivers as you would think.  It looks really reflective in pictures because THAT is the look they are going for, the stealth blending in.  I do plan to put the 3 headed beast sticker on the tailgate to help with headlights of someone following me though.  Many tanker trucks are polished and they don't have the distraction people talk about so I'm not worried."
I was thinking about the alleged reflection issue, and if you think about it, in order for the sun to blind somebody by reflecting off the side of a polished CyberTruck would require the sun to be in the perfect position, so the side of the CyberTruck, and the CyberTruck facia would have to be at just the right angle to perfectly reflect it at a persons eyes. If you think about it, nobody would be in a position where their eyes would be low enough for the sun to reflect perfectly into somebodies eyes. Not the mention, the upper side area would reflect sun way upward, so I don't see how the sun could reflect off the surface of a polished vehicle where it would effect anybody or anything in a negative way...
In my opinion polishing a CyberTruck it TOTALLY NEXT LEVEL, and makes a CyberTruck look an order of magnitude cooler...
