So...I decided to completely black out the lips today...too much attention.

I'm most likely going back to the time attack style with the ring, but this time, a thinner ring and now the blacked out lips

MOD: Black out-lips+Time Attack

Mod: Black out lips/Time Attack Rings
Date: May 23, 2008

Mods since last update:
official "advans logo"
Falken FK-452 rear tires

Hi All!

Since the Candy Red lips came along, I've been getting a lot of "unwanted" attention. It's like eye candy for cops. Every cop that drives or walks by, takes a look at it. And besides, I got sick of the red lips, so I decided to black out the lips, drove around for 2 hours, then decided to do a Time Attack Ring, since that is basically my "signature" everyone knows the black coupe with the red rings

below are some pictures! and also a picture of my official "advans" -a: logo!

enjoy!

Ah, I like it more w/o so much red on the lips! Maybe that'll get you less unwanted attention.

Use your flash next time to help even out the light a bit so we can see the details!

edit: are your mirror lights updated??
