What can I use to improve this light hood?

Hey guys, so basically I just picked up this 270w hydrofarm hps light. Cost me 60 bucks!
But basically the hood has a really shitty, or seemingly shitty to me, reflector.
I was wondering if you guys thought it looks ok, or if I could make something to get some more reflectiveness on the sides and stuff.
Maybe aluminum or something?

The aluminum reflector part is kinda small but the white walls of the the overall container are just as reflective as the silver part. Use the light the way it is because the shape of it will direct the light towards the plants. As long as the walls in your grow chamber are reflective as well then you are fine. Throw the light in there and you are good. btw great price on the light and balast.
