Ahem. That isn't as simple as the headlamp rim question. You see, there
are two kinds of bugeyes. Those with the shift boots as in your left
diagram are called "innies" and the ones with shift boots as on the right
are called "outties." It is not unlike the sneeches of Dr. Seuss fame, not
to mention human belly buttons. Kermit is an outtie, I think, but I would
have to go check to be sure, because I try not to dwell on such things. I
myself am an innie, if it matters to you. Neither of us has a star on his
belly. What you want to do is quit worrying about such things, which only
divide people and bugeyes, and focus on the inner car/person.
