A bit worried that a clear film will make it look less metalic.
From what I have seen so far the panels look very similar. I know the shop that did the work said that 3M's product would be far more noticeable. I will try and pull the car into the sun today and get a close up photo of the panels. I haven't seen it that much since my wife got her hands on it.

I think they look cool if they were white. It gives it a real contrast. I will upload photos of mine...when i get the car!!!
