I didn't say it looked good on 80's cars, I just thought the idea died and people got over them. BTW what are they called?

We now have a miraculous product known as window tint. It keeps the car cooler, doesnt obstruct the view of the driver very much and it looks good.
Just thought that you would like to know.
