Here in New York, it’s currently fashion week. What is it? It’s essentially a week where everyone goes batshit for new looks and afterparties. If only Mosley Tribes’ Spring 2009 lineup of sunglasses were available, I’d be able to get laid with Kirsten Dunst or an equally trashy blonde. That’s right. Slap on a pair of the Wayfarer-style glasses and sneak off to Brooklyn incognito, sipping PBR and smoking Camels throughout the trip.

Or you could just build a sweet pair of light-up Terminator glasses.

Not all of us have five minutes to kill on a DIY project. Or, perhaps you don’t own the correct tools or materials needed for our previous project. That’s why we’re giving away these hot modified aviator sunglasses to one lucky Gearfuse reader! Just leave a comment on this page with a valid name and e-mail address and tell us why you want these glasses. Best one wins the exact pair of Arnie-shades you see above.

The contest ends next Friday and I can only mail these to someone in the United States of America. Get cracking!

Because your Friday needs more Horatio Caine.

It’s time to fuse this gear. YEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

I recently bought a new pair of sunglasses and didn’t need these cheap $6 Walgreens sunglasses I bought in Florida a year ago. With some time on my hands, I quickly modded them to resemble the pair Arnie wore in the classic action flick, The Terminator. This mod can most likely be done without solder, but we’re going to make our pair with solder. Ready to make? Read on.

It’s going to be hotter than a ballsack in gym shorts this weekend and as always, you gotta keep cool on the 4th of July if you want to score the babes. Keep your vision clear and your demeanor chill as you cruise the beach in these MLB-themed Oakley sunglasses. Eleven teams are available and as you can see, the Mets have one of the sickest looking pairs of sunglasses ever.

Your team’s logo will be laser-etched into the lens, giving these Oakleys a truly personal feel to them. At $160 a pop, you’d best make sure not to lose these the next time you start screaming at the umpire when the Phillies are up by 5 runs.

Just because you’re having fun in the sun doesn’t give you carte blanche to look like shit. Up your game with these funky new sunglasses from Kid Robot. Designed in partnership with COLAB, these limited edition shades will only have 100 pairs of each color printed up. They’re available in pink, white and blue and cost a modest $145.

Filming people doing silly sings is much easier when your camera is hidden secretly in the arms of your sunglasses. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spend $402 on these suave spy sunglasses so you can be the next Ethan Hunt.

A simple button push is all it takes to switch the view that you wish to record on the fully featured wireless receiver. The color video is recorded with audio so that you can view your exploits later.

And exploits there will be. With these glasses you could find great blackmail material on just about anyone! Chinavasion is not responsible if you’re executed in a foreign country for espionage.

What would you say If we told you the next pair of glasses you own could adapt to match any clothing style or lighting situation? According to the American Chemical Society (ACS), “smart” sunglasses that can literally change to any color in the spectrum within seconds is just around the corner for commercial availability. Eyeware technology could be forever changed because of an electrochromatic polymer capable of changing darkness levels based on an electrical current. These smart glasses are able to block anywhere from 55 to 95% of incoming ray’s.

The same material used on these sunglasses might one day be used on a energy efficient home and shielded windows. The prototype model of the sunglasses run off of a watch battery connected throught the glasses frames. There color changing glasses won’t be ready for public use for a year or two at least, but patents have filed by project manager Chunye Xu and might lead to be extremely popular based on its versatility. So far, the polymers have been developed for red, blue, and green, but the list of available choices is expected to grow.

The famous bust sculpted to Beethoven’s image is now an odd clock. For the sole reason of displaying the time, sunglasses were added on to the bust. The hour shows up on the left lens and the minutes show up on the right.

We would love to own something like this, but there seems to have been only 100 of these babies made. Anyone want to make a clone product? ThinkGeek maybe? Oh, well. No price information seems to be available, but we can imagine from the limited number that this is a product only rich geeks can dream of owning. — Andrew Dobrow

You didn’t realize the joke in “I Wear My Sunglasses At Night”, did you? Luckily for you, you now get to be the only person in the group of your friends to think that these glasses will make you as cool as Corey Hart. The glasses (not sunglasses) really show off their abilities when you step into the clubs with neon lights everywhere. The bars you see here aren’t the only designs offered; you can choose from different patterns, colors, and intensity. Please, don’t let anyone catch you wearing these darkglasses during the day. They won’t be helping you fight the sun at all, they don’t have any UV protection at all. Zip, nada. So how much will you pay? 30 euros say that you won’t be buying a pair of these anytime soon. –Nik Gomez
