Wow, this Racer Girl is quite racy... and with those breast flaps I am wondering how to pose her in action on the Yakami Rapture and render to the gallery without violating the TOS!

Seriously its a neat suit but any chance we can get a matching Chest Protector or Numbered Jacket for the top in an add-on? Just so we can use it a bit more conservatively.

UPDATE: Chest Protector found "MCChestPlate" cool! Here are some renders featuring the Racing Gals Scene file uploaded to the Gallery post for "Drama Action Zone".

    Yeeeeeah... Every so often, something comes out which implies it could be modified for a pilot, mechanic, soldier or something like that, then I notice it's a little too fetishwear-like! Nothing against how professionally these things have been designed (which is often top-notch), but sometimes I wonder if the creators have been watching one too many Japanese cartoons where everything's a little too... Liberated. Always ends up losing a sale from me, sadly - especially when it's for science-fiction themes (why would you want less combat armour to leave you more exposed, just because you're a woman?).

    There's a great Wild West costume for Genesis 2 females, but the one character I'd have a reason to depict in a setting like that? I can't purchase it for her, because it looks a little too racy and not serious-minded/harsh enough.

    Would be nice for clothing sets to have options, so that they can have 'proper' and 'naughty' alternative looks.

    She ain't racing bikes in that getup, that's for sure!

    I remember the old Popeye and Mickey Mouse episodes where they made fun of the back pocket flap in "Farmer Jack" overalls. But front flaps like those? Yikes!

    I have been thinking lately about a lot of the clothing that really pushes the boundaries here. "Fighter", for example. Oh, I'm not offended by any of it; not in the least. But there are people who I would want to show my art to who might not appreciate me (or my 3D characters) being daring, and I don't want anybody to think I'm pushing it in their faces...

    Which makes me wonder this: Do people maintain two or more online personas; one for the family stuff and another for the traipsing-on-the-edge topics?

    I don't mind, really. Just what ya said, it's like anime and very liberated, so it's all good in my opinion.
    And remember, in fantasy, less clothing protects you more.....look at Conan, or RPG games where a ring offers more protection than full plate armor. ^_^

    Personally I find it goofy with no sense in the design. I am all for fantasy and have seen my fair share of fetish wear in real life working in adult entertainment but at least have it make some sense with the design

    From the Snowball Savings topic, hoping for an answer here:

    DAZ_jared said:
    The fine print : Items purchased as part of the Snowball of Savings sale (this includes both Snowball items, and items purchased with the Snowball discount) are ineligible for return . . .
    Racer Girl's blurb says it's for Genesis, not G2 -- has anyone tried converting it yet? I'm wondering how well it'll do, given those lovely loose-fitting legs, boots, hat, and my inexperience with the various conversion options available. Normally I'd buy it, try it, and return it if it didn't work out, but . . . 8-/

    Also, the boots are shown in the promo but not listed in the blurb -- are they part of the pants?

    In practical terms, this nearly does -- all it takes is a body suit under it with some coordinating shaders and maybe some anti-shrinkwrap morphs and you're good to go. (Unlike The Sheriff, which . . . yeah. Not much I could do with that unless I was going for a space-cowgirl look.) Given the evident popularity of skimpwear in the store, the ability/willingness to kitbash is an unfortunate necessity for me to use much of what's available here.

    Everyone likes different things, but I wouldn't buy it even to kit bash. The outfit looks doughy, especially the pants and the top looks really painted on.

    Gia in this render series called "Drama Action Zone" is wearing Racer Girl, as is Girl 6 on the other bike.

    I notice the strategic placement of props to hide the obvious, there... ;)

    Put a t-shirt or some other basic wear top underneath the Racer Girl top? Maybe they should have considered some type of second skin shirt underneath it.
