They're 90% opaque. Most of the full blackout ones use really ugly material for some reason. They have a silky back though so you can't really see in from the outside at all.
I ended up getting them at Home Depot because I really liked the Bali material and Bali is exclusively sold at Home Depot.
They're operated by a stainless steel chain. I almost went for motorized but it adds $170 per roller. You can see the chain hanging if you look closely.
Regarding to the warranty issue, please be cautious about window tinting on those new double pane window. Many window manufactures do not suggest adding a tint to your window glass as this will void your warranty on the insulated glass unit. Applying tint can cause excessive heat to the insulated glass causing the unit to prematurely fail. Double check make sure the tint film is safe to use on these type of windows.http://www.tintindustry.com/Home-Window-Tinting/Tinting-Double-Pane-Windows.html

I though wide width wood blinds were the Camry and shutters were the Lexus.

Corolla is thin-width blinds... or curtains.

Here's my rollers, you can see I put them right next to shutters but good to break things up a bit.
These long ones for my big panel slider were pretty expensive (about $400 ea) but we're happy with the result.
The window covering guys kept trying to sell me on vertical shades or curtains for my slider... Glad I didn't get either of those, not a fan.

Just my opinion but I really don't like those roller shades.
I would much prefer a curtain with nice decorative rod than that. At least with a curtain you can change the look/design if you need to.
But we each have our likes/dislikes... maybe it's because I don't notice those kind of window coverings in those Pottery Barn catalogs.

I got my shutters through Bella Blinds who has been in business for over 20 years. They are not the cheapest shutters compared to other companies. Their price ranges from 15-20 dollars a square ft. Did what he said he would do. Highly recommend this company and will use again.http://www.bellablinds.com//
