Just got ours today! (I still find it funny that I learned about a package that's 30 feet away on my porch via an email from UPS).

No pictures tonight because it's dark already, but I'll take and post one tomorrow.

Cloudy today, but here's a couple of pics.
I love the attitude the eyeshade gives the Mini.

You need to get your MINI up and running again so she can have her own Eyeshade!

Agreed but you know how Denver's economy is. (Theres NO jobs anywhere!) Need that before I can get the $7K to build the motor, I'm already on the list to jump on the bus to Afghanistan, hopefully that works out.

I will be getting some eyes though, just for the shows and photo opp's.

Another picture

Sorry I can't get to creative but I'll see if I can get a few more on Saturday since I'll be out on a few photo shoots anyway.

I did have a few good laughs today as people noticed the eye shades in the car. Kids LOVE it and they point and laugh and jump up and down. I can't wait to park at work on Monday to see how it goes over in a large government parking lot!

If you like any of the photo's that I upload, feel free to use them as you wish.

Squeee! I LOVE my shade! This was just a quick shot outside of work (had to get one in before the sun went down). I will work on getting better shots this weekend.

Thanks to everyone who has posted pictures so far! Seeing them makes all this work worthwhile. There is nothing like seeing the Eyeshades in the MINIs that they were made for. I love the variety of colors and expressions too!

These are all just fabulous! Got my shipping notice today for Bingo's eyes (I was a latecomer, not in the first batch shipping group... but really fast printing and shipping after my order!). I can't wait! Pepper White with green eyes soon to be added to the photo gallery posted here!

Eclipse Gray / Chili Red JCW with Playful Eyeshades

Even though the eyes are "playful" something about the whole "face" makes it look like, "Uh, oh! I think I'm in trouble."

Click on the images to view larger versions. Kristin, let me know if you want larger or higher res images.
