Kavinsky Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 hmm indeed they should have the wayfarers I'm looking for there, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavinsky Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Well I've got some good news and bad news, the good news is that your technque for removing that god awful ray bans logo on the front really works and hasnt left any scratches on the old pair of raybans that I have from what I can tell that I just tried it on and it really makes a huge difference in the cool factor of the sunglasses as you shouldnt need a bunch of logos on your sunglasses or cars for it to be cool as it makes it looks like its just trying to hard to be cool.the bad news is that neither the old or the new style wayfarers work on my face and I decided to go with the RB3269 instead which look like an upped version of my old sunglasses with a black frame and green/black glasshttp://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTEYuABpoy_IRRXPAKKKnyAB20R6nhdhv4X8MaNWnzmhYDooiFGhQalthough I have to admit I'm going to have to get used to wearing sunglasses again as I havent done it for quite some time while driving and it feels quite odd to do it again, although I would imagine its just like wearing a watch, after awhile you just get used to it and your body gets used to having that particular mass of weight there and then after awhile you wont even notice it.

I never drive without my sunglasses. Doing without for me, would feel soooooo odd. I also feel naked without my sunglasses or a watch. I always have them.Have you ever tried on the large WAYFARER II sunglasses? Not sure if they make them anymore, but they were larger, and looked somewhat like the classic wayfarers.

Kavinsky Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm afraid not, but I did try on both the old style and the new style wayfarers but as I said they just didnt look good on me and I did also try on the rayban avator glasses as well and I swear those made me look downright like an alien, the kind you would have seen on the X files back in the 90'salthough the glasses certainly did make quite a difference driving back with them on, you dont quite realise how much glare there is till you put on the sunglasses and I guess that's the best way to look at them. their a tool to help you see better not just a fashion accessory which is also why for the longest time I didnt have a pair as it was also sort of like what modern hollywood did to modern lamborghini's for me, they just made them seem so uncool as you always see so many idiot celebrities wearing them and the gaudiest ones too, ditto for lamborghinis too, specifically with this video: as after seeing this video I dont think Ill ever look at a modern lamborghini the same way ever again, still atleast they havent ruined the miura or the countach yet as most of those idiots probably dont have the strength to drive them as they dont have any power steering and really heavy controls so you really have to be an enthusiast to put up with that but I'm getting off topic.

Icemanmike Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Well COOP, you did it again and I'm simply in awe for another piece on vintage time era MV correctness which made that era sooo cool. Nice find buddy! So, I have to ask... When is the museum of authentic Miami Vice props and collectables going to open? I feel that it kinda has with your generosity with sharing all that you do in collecting and obtaining these classic props and actual items. It just has to be so inspiring to see in person the magnitude of all you've collected. I can't imagine the time and effort that has gone into the pursuit and acquiring of all these cool authentic items. I, once again, thank you so much for sharing! If I even try for a second to think of what all you have, my head starts to spin... Thank you again, Mike...:clap::clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the MICHAEL MANN letter, and the cast autographed cast and crew hat? Those are way cool. I get multiple requests about opening a museum all the time. I don't have enough items to fill a museum. I could have it displayed as a special section of a museum.The time and effort is extremely time consuming to collect all these things. You have to be on the ball every waking hour, and write people all the time. Most of my free time is spent following leads. Most people would loose interest in a short period of time doing what it takes to do this. I'm just a one track minded person who loves MIAMI VICE more than most anything. Not many people can devote the time, or energy on something like this due to family, kids, spouse.It is amazing to actually hold these items, or wear them. It's surreal actually. It still blows my mind! I'm VERY happy to share these items with all of you MIAMI VICE fans. I love the feedback, and it just encourages me to continue doing this.You all are great! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.A.Castillo Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Very cool pair of Wayfarers, 2morgen :thumbsup:Great deal made for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXistenZ Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 That is a good price and the cool soft case is included. But I'm not much of a fan of those bicolor models though, at least for men. I'm sure they look good when worn by women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
