More on smart glass and NCT Window Tints

Coincidentally they were discussing this on Bimmerforums too and someone put up a link to these guys:
http://blog.technostation.com/smart-glass-with-spd-technology/
http://smartglass.com/spd.asp?sec=automotive

In our case we would only need tinting on the front 2 windows (and none on the windscreen of course) meaning the rears could use cheaper regular tints. Ill send them an inquiry to see if they will divulge an idea of pricing and application.
