My new mod!!

Not quite complete yet, but here is a portion of it

(Ignore the crappy photos. I was too excited to take better ones/clean the car).




Wait for it.................................Here's the money shot



The rest of the modification should be here by the middle of next week

Thanks! My wife and I are very excited. I've had a lot of compliments on it from local people, so far. It was between "MINI me on board" or "Future owner on board." Obviously, you can see which one I went with

Congratulations and great window shade! Where did you get it? My 4th future mini driver is due Monday, 8-18-08 (not that I'll be able to put them all in the car at the same time).

Remember: don't panic, enjoy the moment, sleep is over rated, and have fun.

Thanks everyone! Actually, I put it together myself. I bought the shades from Wal-Mart, then came up with a design, and had our local sign shop cut and layout the vinyl. If you guys are interested, I'd be willing to have these made at cost, or you're more than welcome to have your local sign shop use my design and make your own
