Bra is coming off. bought it with it on, just afraid to see how bad it is underneath. This is not Vato Land.

Doens't look too bad but if you have tint you probably want to leave it black.

It's good to see people experimenting with "free" mods . I noticed this chrome a week ago but haven't done anything yet...too busy. Since this is what I consider a permanent mod I'm still thinking about it. If I do go ahead and do it I'll definitely do a tutorial for my site .
