Update Time.

Update:

I've finally received a sample of what I'm (almost) sure is going to be used for the final product. It will be dropped off today for printing and I should be getting it back in about a week if all goes according to plan. If the printing is a success, I will be taking pics and posting them here. I'll still want to let it experience some wear and tear to see how well it's going to hold up sitting in the hot windshield.Thanks everyone for your patience!

You guys are really coming up with some interesting color combinations. I like the two-tone ones especially.

VERY new to the forum-saw the eyes windshield shades! Count me in for one. My Cooper is British Racing Green with a white top.

This is incredibly fun.

Yay! We've had 32 consecutive days of 100+ temperatures, so the sooner I get the shade the better!

To help you out in the future, I think you should select some top designs and give people the option of those designs/model/color and that's all. Less work for you and still great results for all of us.

Update: I've just been told we will not be able to do double-sided shades. This is because the material on the back of the shade is a felt fabric that our vinyl will not be able to adhere to. I spoke with the shade manufacturer today about it. They wouldn't be able to do a custom material on the back to combat this issue unless we purchased in a quantity of 5,000 or so. If you need to remove one design from your double-sided shade or if you'd like to split them up into two separate shades, please let me know and I'll update the design listing. Sorry about that, guys. I was hoping for a double-sided shade myself.

On a happier note, my one-sided prototype is in the making and should be back to me sometime next week for testing and picture taking!

These are great!! I wanted to see if you can do over-sized innocent eyes. (think big puppy dog eyes). Or do the eyes need to all be the smaller size you've been using so far?

MisterQ is an 04 MCS Indy Blue - Brown Irises. I'll think of a second option if the over-sized eyes can't be done. :D

Darn... now I have to decide between my two designs because I don't really want to buy two shades. I'll make a decision when you need one made. For now, I'm just going to think about which one I'd rather have.

So funny! Might need the mask to be bigger so all you see are the part around the eyes in order to get the effect of the LR.
