I'm so excited!!!!! As soon as I have it I will be sure to post pictures.
The order went through only once, so you're good. I'll get it going right away!

Can't wait to see photos of this one in your new Countryman!

Thanks! Yes, it is a Countryman. I went all out and got the JCW.

It's going to be True Blue metallic with red sport stripes and white roof and mirrors (with the sunroof).

I have a mental picture of what it will look like, but really can't wait to see it in person.

My ship is supposed to be at the port tomorrow. The ship tracker hasn't updated since the 11th so I can't verify, but I'm crossing my fingers! My MA said it should be about a week to get it to the dealership (the port is in Baltimore and my dealer is only about an hour away, so I can't see it taking that long?).

I'm hoping to have her by the weekend after next. And her eyes shortly thereafter.

I think it will look awesome! I'll be sure to post pics when it all comes together.

I know your excited and can hardly wait! Your CM is beautiful from what I can tell from your little picture. I can't wait to see your new "eyes" as well!

BTW....mine eyes arrived today and I can hardly wait to get home and see them!! Going to do a photo shoot this weekend I'm sure. Lol

Ooh yes, definitely post some pictures! I might be slightly more excited to get the eyes than to get the MINI... Haha.

Can't wait to see yours!

I received my eyeshade a few days ago and was finally able to get a decent picture.



They look GREAT! I've already had a few people ask me where I got them.

Your MINI is looking right, but turning left. Quite dangerous, don't you think?

Yeah!!! Post pictures! Mine are supposed to be here tomorrow!!! I can't wait!!!

(Side note, I tried posting a pic of Wonder Woman to this thread the day I picked her up, but it mysteriously never showed up. So I decided to wait until her eyes come in to post... Looking forward to tomorrow!!!)

If I were to get you a Hello Kitty Wonder Woman picture, might you be able to put something together? My wife loves both WW and HK and it would set her light white CM off. Thanks

Haha, Hello Kitty Wonder Woman is awesome!!

Dittin, the eyes look amazing! They just came today so I will post pics soon. It's overcast here so I couldn't get great shots, but you get the idea.

I can't stop looking at her. She looks amazing! (After all, she is the Amazing Amazon, lol.)

Nadia, love your Bridie!

I'll post my pics later tonight. Trying to stare at her as much as possible before the sun goes down haha. Love it!!

Wow, the thread has become even more enthusiastic than usual lately! Thanks to you all! You make Eyeshades so much more fun for me. I'm very glad that I took the leap and started to make these.

Bridie looks awesome! And I can't wait to see pics of the Wonder Woman Countryman!

I will be getting to any design requests soon. I've got some others I'm working through now, one being an American Flag Eyeshade and the other being Gizmo from The Gremlins! You guys have so many fun ideas as well as fun cars!

Agreed! You should have an online gallery or Flickr album where we can collect all your work!
