QoS Sunglasses Tutorial

I am over the moon excited about the limited edition Oliver Peoples Sunglasses that will soon be released. But I am keenly aware that $500 for many people is a bit dear to spend on something they may soon sit on or forget at the gas station. But why should any Bond fan be without this crisp, clean look?.....so I offer to you the QoS Sunglasses Tutorial. With these $16.99 pair of sunglasses, a dremel tool, and five minutes you can have a Close Enough representation of the sunglasses you now see on the trailer.
I found these pair of sunglasses at TARGET for $16.99. They are sturdy and I noticed they have a good top brace that looks like the Oliver Peoples. In person the lenses even look charcoal!
But what's that you say? David, can't you see the extra bridge that the Oliver ones do not have...ah, but that is where your dremel comes in.
Carefully cut away using a small cutting disk and be sure to use the abrasive edge to buff away any sharp points left over. Should take you no more than five minutes.
Well, I could make it more complicated than that but there you have it! Have fun...

Mantis, any idea where I can purchase these Mossimo glasses online? I live in Australia, and the Target stores we have here don't stock the Mossimo brand. I've done a bit of a Google / eBay search but had no luck with either. Many thanks!
one note: for everyone tracking these down - the glasses are meant for a large face, so be forewarned.
jgw007, I think I'll take your advice. I have more of a narrow than wide face, and don't think these would look any good on me anyway!

the silver frames with smoke polarized lenses for $75 look quite close to the real deal. my only concern would be their quality. if they were in the $25 range I'd just buy them and report back, but for $75 and the potential to be shoddy it just leaves me pondering if i should just put the $75 towards the real deal.
by the way it also seems that O.P. sunglasses are not readily reproduced as replicas hardly anywhere on the internet, which sucks but anyways let me know what you guys think.

I will take pictures. Planning to wear the suit to fly in and arrive at the hotel. Beach attire will have to be early holiday shots before I put all the weight back on (yes - I have been starving myself and working out a la Craig).
Any other requests??
