Cars windshield eyes

I've heard of the "Cars" windshield eyes but haven't seen anyone offering them yet. Is anyone selling the windshield eyes that install on the bottom of the windshield?

You might want to talk to Mike at Aesthetic Creations. He had his front window done for Minis in the Mountains. I wouldn't think it would be a legal mod but another smaller version might be. At the minimum it would make a great window shade

It sounds like Mike's was the one I had heard about. The picture did not come through, is there a site/URL I can go to see it? The shade is nice but I was looking for the graphic that goes on the window. I know I'll have to check with state laws for Missouri so i don't run the risk of violating front window visiability, it may not be allowed but it is worth the effort to check on it.

Thanks,

Scott

Considering that you are not allowed to tint the windshield, a perforated graphic is definitely not going to be legal anywhere outside a car show.

Looks like the place where Mike's image is posted doesn't allow outside linking. Click here to go to the page where you can see it.

Not sure if anyone is interested still, but I am going to get a bunch of these eyes sunshades made up, custom to each MINI's color and expression in my own style. I just need to see how many people are interested so we can try to get a bulk rate on them. Let me know! Here is a link to the thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ld-shades.html
