I played with this effect for awhile now. It's easy to do but very difficult to explain!

Here's a quick rundown of what I did.

I made one side first, when done, I duplicated and flipped the image horizontally. Then moved the two halves into place and merged them.

I only used three tools, the Rectangular Marquis Tool, the Gradient Tool, and the Pen Tool.

The main layer with gradients.

The strip layer with gradients.

Then I used the Pen Tool to make this selection.

Filled the selection with a gradient.

Then used layer mask with a gradient to soften the shadow, also lowered the opacity.

I could do a full written tutorial but I won't because it would take me a few days to write it up!
