Aww, guess I gotta be the party-pooper and say it's not possible. The back of the custom-fit sunshades is a black, felt material (they are meant to be reversed for colder weather use to keep frost from forming) and so the vinyl won't stick to it. On that note, I'd recommend not using the shades in very, very cold temperatures though. The vinyl stiffens up at freezing temperature and won't bend as easily.

To have more than one expression for my MINI I've taken to packing around two different Eyeshades, one happy one and one angry one for those days he's either really dirty or feeling like racing.

Wasn't sure that would be possible.

I may have to buy myself another one at some point. The first was a gift from my husband. I'd love to get one for his BMW, but not sure how much longer he plans to keep it.

I love backing in to our garage and putting my angry eyeshades up so Pearl is ready to greet my husband when he comes home. lol Makes me laugh!

Well, checkered eyes for Checkers, of course!

Dittin, I enjoy making Pearl glare at my husband when he opens the garage!

I put mine behind the front seats and rest it on my center rail between the seats and the cup holder on the rail. It holds it in place well.

Dittin,

Can you do anything that would evoke a Wonder Woman look? Something along the lines of the following maybe?

I'm getting my girl in a few weeks and think the right eyes would complete my theme

Thank you! I'm so excited to see it in person. I'm fairly certain I'll be the only one around, and easy to spot. So adding more character can only be a good thing! Haha

I'll definitely post pics when she comes in. She's on her way across the pond now!

That is awesome, Dittin!! I so wish I had known you took custom requests!
Course, I have no idea what I'd want but I do know you are great at what you do!

Those... look... AMAZING! I love them!

Any chance I could see it with blue eyes? Whatever shade of blue you think looks best with the rest of it. I really love it though! Now to convince the hubs to let me order it.

So awesome!! Thank you!!

Yes, those will work! Hubby is on board so I'll place the order. Should I just put "wonder woman" in as the description on your website?

I set the image as the lock screen on my phone so I can keep looking at it. I love it!

I placed the order today (hopefully not twice... PayPal was being weird) and just put a note in the descriptor for you. Let me know if you need more info.

I'm so excited!!!!! As soon as I have it I will be sure to post pictures.
