No worries...just messing with you. I'm not used to the exclamation of "dude." Around here, all I hear is "Mom!!!!!"

The one I ordered for my husband's Tundra arrived yesterday, right on time for his birthday! He loves it and can't wait to put it on his car next time he goes golfing. It's hilarious how much bigger the Tundra one is than the one for my Countryman! I'm picking up my Countryman today, so hopefully I should be able to post some pics of both cars with their eyes on soon!

Barnaby is finally here, and I managed to snap a couple of pics of him in his Eyeshade today at work. It is SO cute! I love it! And the color is a perfect match. I'll try to get some better pics (as well as some of my husband's "Angry Tundra" Eyeshade) this weekend. Barnaby's thinking about where he wants to go for his photoshoot:

Mr Mickey got his attitude for Christmas. A slightly British one.

Yay! Great new pics, guys! I gave one to my grandma for Christmas and I'm waiting to get a picture of it. Sadly, it's a Ford Escort and not a MINI.

How about a Pirate?

Dittin,
Could you do a Rock with a pirate eye patch for me?
Chili red, with grey iris?

Thanks.

Mike

It's been a long time, but I am finally getting around to posting a better picture of the Dutchess with her eyes in...this is from this morning at, of all things, a Subaru meet, while waiting for the Scoobies to arrive (she is annoyed because she knows the Subies will hold her back on the twisties lol)

She's quite right to be annoyed about being held back on the twisties! That's one of the best things motoring is about!

You'll be happy with "The Rock", it's what I ordered as well. Went to a MINI event in Hampton Roads a couple of weeks ago and a little kit stood in front of the car all day, staring at my car and he kept saying "Lightning McQueen"! His parents were horrified at first but I loved it!

I just spent some of my tax refund money on a custom shade for IceBluesCat! Now that we're getting close to 100-degree days, I need to not burn my hands on the steering wheel at the end of the day.

I've been wanting one for the MINI since I got him in November. First order of business was getting his personalized plate "ICE BLUZ". Then his GPS bracket in preparation for twisty-runs with my local club. (heard about the MINI that went over the cliff due to his driver chasing the GPS donut across the dashboard ... fortunately trees stopped the MINI from making a 100ft plunge)

So I asked for Cat Eyes, because he's a cool cat.

Does anyone know where I can get high quality vinyl cat paw tracks to make walking "stripes"? I was thinking of having them the same size as the racing stripes, but walking from the hood of the car, over the roof and down the club doors in back. With a slash design "behind" the MINI Cooper S on the right rear club door .....

These guys might be able to help execute your idea: http://www.mini-graphics.co.uk/mini-graphics-home

Back on topic - we hardly ever see the sun up here in Seattle but I still want the eyeshades!

Not a MINI but I gave an Eyeshade to my mom as an early Mother's Day present. She says it makes the Durango look like he's got a mouthful of braces.
