Default Anyone put lipstick on

Having seen the special F-Type and seeing some of the racing AM's has anyone put lipstick on their XK. Just wondering if it looked good or bad. Any pictures.

The idea is a turnoff to me. But, each to their (PC) own.

Miss Piggy won't go anywhere without lipstick and eyelashes!

Here's a Vantage GT I took a picture of yesterday I was semi-serious considering. Fantastic car with black alcantara/leather interior with red stitching. Manual transmission. MSRP $114K. Very reasonable for a new Aston IMO. The lipstick and trim is painted, not stickers.

^^^^^ What he said. Looks like something a boy-ricer would do to his '98 Honda.

Yep but would need to add a 14 inch high spoiler and then she'd be all set for a Tokyo drift.

I toyed with the idea of putting black lipstick on my silver XKR, but inside the edge not outside of it (so does that count as lipstick?). But then Tokyo Drift was one of may favorite movies, and I always thought that the XKR would look awesome with a wing on the back (a "real" wing, like the XKR-S GT), so obviously subtlety is not one of my attributes.

Ahh true to one's self. If this were Reddit, I would award you points.

Since I am not yet sold on the F-type and Jag no longer has plans for a XK replacement, at only $114K MSRP, that makes it a serious contender for an XK replacement.

This Vantage is nicer (for me) than any F-Type I have seen. I am year too early to be 100% serious on a new car for me.

Here's the other one they have in stock for similar money. The interior on the white one is much richer inside, but this one is pretty hot too.

Ok, now I know this has got to be a joke, pretty good photoshopping though!
AM can't be that serious about NOT selling cars ("Yeah, let's keep the sales numbers down by putting wacky paint jobs 'em.").

This is not a Photoshop I can assure you. I have sat in this car. The contrasting trim is like a 5-7K option as it is paint, not sticker!

Guess I have to believe it then, but 'not in my garage'.
