I was watching Pimp my Ride and they put a sheet of glass in a car covered with some kind of film (holographic I think) and they put a projector in the dash to create a flip down glass TV in the car (about 14").

I want to do the same thing only on a bigger scale (like 42"-61").

I was wondering if anyone would know where I can find that film and if I would need any special glass? I'm hoping it would be much cheaper than buying an actual TV that big.
 
well I know that it NOT going to be cheaper than a TV that big. Plus it is a gimic factor in it. There is a reason we dont see glass TV on the market place.
