You are correct about the Maybach's roof. I love it and use it consistenly.

I have seen applications in shower doors as well as home windows. There was a movie recently that also had their conference room closed in with this. I think morgan freeman was in it if I remember correctly.

Well I just sent another email since I haven't gotten a response yet to the first one. If I don't get a response in like a a couple days maybe someone else should try to email them.

Also I think I saw the same movie where the gov had some conference rooms with that electro glass stuff installed, if its the one where there were some terrorists and the president involved... (i know this really doesn't narrow it down much though). After I saw that movie I thought it was just hollywood stuff but then like 2 years later I found myself in a conference room that had that special glass on all the windows and I stayed till the end of the meeting just so I could mess with the switch a few times after the meeting. The few peoples left in there thought I was probably crazy but hey it really impressed me at least.

Man just imagine the ability to do this on you car. Google Electrochromatic glass and see how many companies come up. There is even a company that works in conjuction with toyota. I'll post the site later on.

yes i will do just that, however i was thinking about this application on my drive home and although i have 2% tint (i know this cuz i have had a few field tests on it by various law enforcement) and although it is very black on the outside i can see through it just fine from the inside (unless its nightime,,,hmmmm) but with this opaque chromatic stuff nobody can see through it. so i have a feeling that whoever responds to the email will probably point this out or ask if its on a show car or what not. this stuff would be great on limos and show cars but not being able to see out of your windows while driving may be uncool. i don't know if they have an opacity control **** type thing or if its just like the ones from my old building's conference room where its either clear or white (in which case no light passes through).
