Good job on the FAQ - you may also want to update the first post in this thread, that'll make it easy for people to find info. I know I wont remember to check post #299 in this 12-page (and growing!) thread.

this is great! adds personality and protects dashes at once! I've never been someone to use sunshades but this is just flat out cool!

Model of your MINI: 2007 r56
MINI color (eyelid color): Chili Red
Iris color: blue..
Expression of eyes: double sided McQueen/ angry

Turns out I can't do double-sided shades. If you want, you can choose only one of the designs or split it into two separate shades. Sorry about that. :(

Hey there, posting on behalf of my girlfriend shes not exactly sure what expression she would want yet but she wanted me to ask if a certain few were possible. (and of course waiting on the price range like everyone else before becoming dedicated, but we both love the idea of Eye Shades and would defiantly get a pair or two if the price was right )

Model of your MINI: 2012 Cooper
MINI color (eyelid color): Pepper White
Iris color: Blue
Expression of eyes:

She likes BIG eyes and thought that Bubbles Eyes for her Mini might look really good.

She also really liked these so far(but of course in Blue)

Ill keep you updated if she finds something else she would pref and when she picks a style that shes 100% sure is for her Mini

Kristen, You have the most beautiful eyes..
I love your prototype!

My Mini is a "Pepper White" 2006 MCS with the Panaromic Sunroof..

You can see it in the picture below.

Of course I want one.. I live in Florida.. This is a MUST have item.
I want mine to have eyes as beautiful as yours...
You are moving quickly and you can see we are all interested..

MisterQ is an 04 MCS Indy Blue - Brown Irises. I'll think of a second option if the over-sized eyes can't be done. :D

Do you think it would be possible to do something like the Minions from Despicable Me? I have an Oxford green Countryman on order and the sunshade would be a wonderful birthday present for myself. Thanks a bunch!

Dittin, would you mind making it it looking like The Eye in the Lord of the Rings movie??

Another bizarre idea is to offset the eye ball a little so it's not looking straight ahead....

The first 50 Eyeshades!

Hey guys, Dittin here! I'm now a registered vendor on NAM and am happy to announce that I am now ready to start taking preorders for the first 50 sunshades! You can do so here:

http://www.artisticreflection.com/MI...sPurchase.html

If anyone needs to see a design preview before completing their order, please let me know so that I can add you to the design list. If you already have a design requested and would like to use it for your custom sunshade, please let me know on your order form.

There is also a space on the website for tracking where we are on the orders. We need to reach 50 in order to get the discount price offered temporarily. The sooner the order is filled, the sooner we can get our shades started! After this first order, the shades will go to full price and will be sold on an individual basis.

Thanks again for all of your support guys!

dittin,

thanks for the hard work on this.

i just placed my order. just out of curiosity, since i'm ordering for a midnight black mini, will the eyebrows be visible? if not, i think i had mentioned in an earlier post that i'd like to go a shade lighter on the eyelids (maybe dark silver/grey)so the black eye brows stand out a bit. please let me know. thanks again.
