Haven't seen it on an 8, but I know what you are referring to. Personally, I think it looks tashy. But, too each their own. I respect other peoples choices. It's their car, not mine.
Might wanna check w/your local laws also. Several states have outlawed it. It is extremely reflective and is a danger to LEO's on stops. Plus, I find depending on the angle of the car/trucks windows, that my own headlights, (or sunlight during the day), reflect back and shine back into my eyes...grrrrrr
Choose wisely young grasshopper.

mike's tint shop does unbelievable work. i've seen several of their tintjobs at SEMA. Crazy tint graphics. Personally I think smoke film looks better on most vehicles compared to the reflective films. Plus metallized films can possibly disrupt AM radio reception. Although I haven't had any complaints from customers about it. Someone here posted a pic of their 8 with Quantum (fully metallized) film....can't remember who...but it looked pretty damn good. I think it's in the "Opinion of window film" thread somewhere in here.

P.S By the way, I got mine done over year ago, and never the police said anything about my windows.
