YAY! Mad Maxx's eyeshades just arrived. Great job! SO well done! Thank you Kristen. The car isn't here yet, but I am so glad they arrived first as I want to show them to my MA in case anyone else is interested down there.
I'll post photos after I pick him up sometime next week. He arrives in Scottsdale on the 12th, but we are expecting a storm this weekend so I'll wait till his stuff is finished on him and get him on a nice sunny day. Keeping my fingers crossed for some nice Convertible weather!

That's great news! There should be a bunch more Eyeshades arriving at their destinations today and tomorrow. Please post pictures when you get yours!

My original delivery date was today but UPS must have had a hiccup so now, they will be here on Thursday. Just in time for the big "MINIs Take the Beltway" event on Sunday. My MINI/Mini/Many friends will be insanely jealous!

I got mine!

Looks like I'm the first to post up a delivered eyeshade.

I just received mine today. I love the look but I'm somewhat disappointed that the shade isn't a snug fit. In order to keep it in place I had to wedge it in between the dash and the lower part of the windshield.

Here are a couple of pix.

Thanks for the pics! It looks awesome!
As for the fit, I compared these to the OEM shade and they are nearly the same size. Does the OEM shade fit loosely as well?

Would it be okay if I used one of these pics on my website, roushraven? I'd love to post a few pics of the Eyeshades being worn by some MINIs other than Volly.

I don't know how well (or not) the OEM shade fits because I decided to buy yours and not it.

Feel free to use my picture on your website and thanks for asking.

Yeeeaaaaaaa Boyeeee!!!

I was pleasantly surprised today. The eyeshade I ordered is perfect for my MINI.
I had the right idea for my car and it worked. GREAT JOB!
Oh! BTW I wasn't expecting a pouch for the shade. Nice touch.

Please excuse iPhone Pic, I couldn't wait to post. Everyone, this is Tonka.

Hmmm, looks like yours fits nice and snug. I wonder, are R53 windshields smaller than R56s?

Taz looks great! Do you have any full body shots of him? Also, mind if I use some of your pics on my website?

Kristin,

He's in the garage tonight but in the morning I will take full frontal shots of it and upload them. Feel free to use any photos that may help you promote these!

Thanks again!

Kristin,

Here's a couple full frontal - lighting isn't so great - will try in the daylight tomorrow and see if I can get some that will look more presentable for your use.

Thanks

Kristin,

I have attached 3 better (I think) photos in the daylight. Feel free to use them if they will work for you. If you want the full sized photos just let me know.

Thanks

The BBT (Big Brown Truck) just left me a box. I'd like to open it and photograph the MINIs with their new Eyeshades on. But you-know-who is here, and one of the Eyeshades is a Christmas present for her and her Cooper.

Pix after she goes to sleep.

OH MY GOSH! All you people stop staring at your beautiful eyeshaded MINIs and go dredge out more cameras! They look SO great! I can't wait to see more more more! This is such a perfect idea because it adds hugely to the uniqueness of everybody's mini personality. A whole 'nother dimension to there being no two just alike

BRAVO! I've ordered mine a bit ago, no UPS email yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. CAN'T WAIT, TOO!

Just for you

Okay, I was going to wait until morning so the rain stopped...

Here's a quick shot of Merlin and his eye shades. More pics to follow when the sun is up and I don't have to use the flash. The shade fits great and I don't think I have to tell anyone but it also looks awesome. I'm really impressed with the quality of the shade and the artwork.

Oh wow, I didn't realize your MINI was black with a red roof! Great choice to go with the red Eyelids in that case! Love the look of this one. I'd definitely be interested in a nice daylight pic of the whole car for my website if you don't mind. :D

Oh and going out in the rain in the night to take a pic!? You are awesome.

Everyone's Eyeshades look awesome! I got my shipping notification today! Hooray! I'm so excited to see it in person! Now I just have to wait for my car to arrive...

I'm going to take mine to the dealership with me when I go to pick up my car. I'm sure my MA will get a kick out of it, and hopefully I can spread the word/share the love a little bit while I'm there!

Kristin,
Thanks alot from the Pacific Northwest . This looks awesome, my only regret is I didn't flatten out the shade more on my windshield before I snapped the photo. Now it is raining, imagine that in the NW
