Yay, they look great! I relly like the Red checkered on the CR, not many people have gotten those but they look so cool. I'll have to remember to add this to the Rogue Minis site when I get home

ImagoX-did you check with a neighbor to see if they picked them up? I assume if there was tracking then MotoringShwag sent them UPS, there should be insurance on them automatically.

Nope- they went USPS, which carries no insurance unless you buy it. The mail carrier that serves my house has started putting packages OUTSIDE the mailbox in a hanging bag instead of putting them on my porch lately, so I hope some dweeb didn't steal it.

eeek, that stinks. I had one person complain about my high shipping cost but UPS is the only way to go with this one. I will not jeoprodize something like this happening, it's worth it to me. Sorry to hear that. I hope it works out.

I just saw this thread - what a great looking product! So I just ordered the green eyes for my BRG MCSC from StoopidGirl. Check out her web site, and the links - pretty cool!

Thanks for offering a great product StoopidGirl!

Thanks SMC! I'm enjoying making people happy. I can't take all the credit (I know I've said this before) Tuls is actually the one who created them.

It's really cool because I don't think a lot of people realize what it actually takes to make them, They are not hand drawn or made in a graphix program(if so then I could do it). Tuls is a 3D animator by trade so he builds basically a real eyeball in a 3D modelling program then he has to "dress" it like you would a manican as well as choose the angle in which the photo is captured of the image. That's why if you look closely a lot of the eyes are not the same, it's also the reason they look so real.(not to give away his secrets or anything, I just think it's cool). It takes lots of schooling and training to be able to do this...I'm still amazed by his talents.
Thanks again everyone

That pretty cool, I had no idea that's how you made 'em. All I know is they freaked the wife out when she saw 'em; so there going on the car. She never looks under the hood anyway.

Too bad "the Man" is keeping your bidness down on the 07 model with headlights on the body.

StoopidGirl, do you make variations, or just the stock ones? I love the blue eyes, but have to admit that the red veins gross me out a bit. Any possibility of getting the blue eyes without the veins?

I know, I know--I'm way too squeamish!

We aren't able to do custom orders at this time but in the future it's something we'll consider as there have been several requests. As of yet I can't promise anything. Nothing wrong with being squeamish


ImagoX-I think I said this before but they look good, I like the orange on orange and wow, what a clean engine you have!

Thanks, Stoopidgirl... The radiator needs cleaning, but I try to keep it clean in there.

I'd second the "no veins" thing... If I could get some that were in-between the ones I have and yours, I'd consider switching them. As it is, they ARE a bit.., "intense" for me.

That's ok, they're not for everyone. We tried to cover a lot of bases with them but it doesn't always happen. Maybe one day when we have more resoureces it's just been for fun.

UKDragon-I'll try and remember to add your eyes to my gallery when I get home but if I forget you'll have to remind me after Mini Takes the States as I'll be doing the whole thing (happy dance)...or did I add them already? My brain is fried right now
