Maybe do something like an interrogation room mirror? When you turn the lights on behind the mirror, it becomes transparent. I have no idea, but it would be pretty awesome if somebody did it.

You could try smoked acrylic; it would make it more difficult to see what's inside till you turn the lights on.

There are several mods around these parts that used miror acrylic (bottom sheet on the left).

Bronze acrylic also has a similar effect, but when the lights are out one can vaguely see the hardware that lurks behind the window.

Yes. Both should have acrylic, but I would call and check stock first as it is not always available (at least around my area).

I don't know if they can cut it for you, but if they can doing so will save you some time.
