Are we close? How do we get the word out to more owners? I want my shade! Says the girl who doesn't even have her car yet...

You wouldn't happen to have time to mock up my Wicked Girly eyes cosmic blue to silver, would you? No rush. I just wanted to see how it would look...thanks!!!

A reminder...

Don't forget, September 30th, 2011 (this Friday) is the cutoff date for getting your shade ordered!

I'll be using the weekend to organize all of the orders so that I can place our bulk order first thing on Monday. It doesn't look like we will quite meet the goal of 50, but we should still be okay. I've been chatting with the manufacturers about it.

So, again, if you plan on getting in on the shades bulk order pricing, you only have a few more days left! After that, they will be regular price only!

Thanks again to everyone who has placed their orders. All of these different shades are going to look awesome in the MINIs! By the way, no two shades are the same so far!

Volly's friend, the Oxford Green Countryman, has decided to get a playful look. Hopefully we will be able to get a pic of both of them with their Eyeshades at a future club ride.

Also, I'm thinking that the Surf Blue swatch you have looks a little off, too... I think the color is REALLY hard to photograph properly, but it's much closer to this color in real life:



Sorry, not intending to be all pedantic or anything, but it is a tough color!

Dittin,
I just ordered a second shade. You mentioned combining shipping costs before, so please do so. This is for the other design you did for me, the Volly expression. Thanks, I can't wait!

The Sparkling Silver is more like a Champagne color, how is that going to look?

Hey Dittin!

OMG - you're cutting off Friday!!! Need to get my order in, but wanted to see if you could render the following:

Model of your MINI: R60 Countryman
MINI color (eyelid color): Light White
Iris color: Red
Expression of eyes: angry

My CM just arrived at the dealer and it's naked and blind!!! Need to fix that ASAP! BTW - do you ship only, or would you consider local pickup to save on shipping? (I'm in Denver) Either way, please let me know. Thanks!

I'll be putting my order in and paying on Friday the 30th, when my OT shows up. Had a lot of "going back to school" expenses this month.

Hi Dittin,

I'd like in on this too!

Model of your MINI: R55 JCW Clubman
MINI color (eyelid color): Dark Silver
Iris color: not sure
Expression of eyes: the rock

As for Iris color, at first I thought red to go with all the red bits on the JCW, but could you show me what it would look like with gray iris and maybe one other color that you think would look good with the dark silver?

Thanks.

Here's your preview! Can't have a brand new blind Countryman! I am already planning on meeting some MINI5280 club members at a future group ride or event to deliver their shades. I know there is going to be one ride at the end of October that I will probably be attending so if you don't mind waiting til the next meeting, I can certainly waive the shipping fee. Just let me know if you want to do that!

I'd like to see a preview before I order. Can you post up a preview of Laser Blue with brown "Rock Eyes", "Angry Eyes" and "Puppy Eyes".

Thanks!

Awesome!! I'm not really familiar with the club, but would be interested in picking it up from you at the ride. I don't mind the wait.

I'll put a note in the order that I'd like to pick up locally. Thanks and looking forward to getting MINI-vision!!!

Putting in order now...
