2" thick poly carbonate with a forged billet center.
It was explained that it's the same material as used in hockey rinks. (the boards/"glass")

That is the most useless piece of crap I've ever seen (maybe that's an exaggeration). 4 jackstands and a low profile jack, that's all you need if you want to show off your brakes at a car show. And if you're actually driving your car with those on, good luck to ya. Hockey players go through those walls, what do ya think a 2,500+++ car is going to do when it hits a pot hole. I'm sure it's probably more durable taking shock from the edges verse the sides, but still. Guess some people just need another reason to blow away $. Someone should kick that guy in the nuts... in my opinion.
