Yeah, it's good stuff. I've used a fair amount of their tape. The stuff they used to sell was pretty strong and stretchy, but the current stuff doesn't stretch very much. If you need it to go over a compound curve, it helps to heat it up a little with a hair dryer and go slow. If you're building up a wheelset, you can do the whole inner surface of the rim with reflective tape, it looks great.
