Ok, if the ZippeeShade guys offered custom printed designs, I might consider it.

Homeless, huh? Didn't you see the QVC cardboard I used? You can't use a home shopping type network from under the O Street overpass or from the oil drum fire camps by the tracks.

I wouldn't go so far as to use the term "Homeless" for your ingenuity. I think your project has a unique flare to it . Just curious, what custom printed designs would you like to see? I would love to hear some feedback.

I like the idea, but honestly i think the Logo in the middle of the shade is tacky and i would prefer it all plain black. then maybe id buy em

I agree with you. It seems that many other NAM members were addressing this concern and we are going to develop one without the huge logo. I don't have a release date yet but if you are still interested I can let you know.

Yeah, without the logo, or one that says MINI or has the MINI logo.

Perhaps one that says "don't look up here, watch the road." or "remember to close your mouth when looking up." or "REMOVE BEFORE OPENING."

Awesome ideas.... Please keep them coming. The "don't look up here, watch the road" is very clever. LOL.

"Vertical Escape Hatch."

I'd like one with the MINI lettering or just a logo, but You'd probably have some copyright issues on your hands...they are sticklers for that.

I thought the huge logo would be a problem, but if you pull the screen closed, it was much less noticeable and tolerable.

My biggest issue is that I have an anthracite headliner, and no matter how i fit the shade on one side or the other there would be just a sliver of light coming through. Wouldn't be an issue for probably anyone else, but bothered me lol.... seems like if the fringes were just a hair bigger all around it would have been perfect for me. Still a wonderful product for us vampires who like to hide from the light occasionally

I am terrible at taking pics, but here are my shades installed.

I agree, mine is the same way, it needs to be a little bigger.
