i don't have resources to that type of hardware lol is there anything else you can recommend ?

Hack saw??? lol... Dont use tin snips although a heavy duty pair of scissors might work... What kind of reflectors are they? Tech, Icecap, other? Aluminum? Surely someone you know has a mitre saw you can use for a minute... Bring them to me, Ill cut them for ya... :)

heavy duty pair of scissors ??? like the ones they use at home depot ?? ill just go walk in and ask to borrow a pair and cut what i need and leave lol
