I bet I can.

<Pauses to try> "Pimpmobile"

Yeah, I can.

Applying reflective film to the windows can be viewed as simply tarting
up the van, but since it reflects heat along with the visible light, it
performs a valuable function.

I doubt that 100% reflective is legal anywhere. 100% reflective means
that no light is transmitted through it, making it as easy to see
through as aluminum foil.

Mellow Yellow got 20% metal (reflective) on everything aft of the driver
and passenger door windows. This means that it reflects 80% of the
light, letting the other 20% through. It looks like a darkish mirror
from the outside. Can see myself in it. Turning Mellow Yellow into a
primpmobile.
