I thought this was just a kick-ass poster. But they’re actually auctioning<\/em> these KISS<\/strong>-covered Countryman MINI<\/strong>s. And you can order custom KISS<\/strong> wraps for your own MINI<\/strong>. Kick-ass!<\/p>\n

Now if they only made Gene Simmons<\/strong> Bloody Tongue Car Fresheners to hang on your mirror, we’d be in business. Though I’d settle for a special KISS Kat<\/a> seat.<\/p>\n

THE AUCTION<\/strong>
\nOn May 29th the autographed KISS MINI<\/strong>s go on eBay<\/a> with proceeds to benefit UNICEF<\/strong> and help children in Japan<\/strong> (and around the world).<\/p>\n

THE TOUR<\/strong>
\nThe Rocks The Rivals<\/em> tour is rollin’ the KISS<\/strong> Countryman MINI<\/strong>s to dozens of dealerships\/cities<\/a>. Here’s a few notables:<\/p>\n

May 6 — MINI of Universal City, North Hollywood, CA<\/strong><\/p>\n

May 7–MINI of Manhatten New York, NY<\/strong><\/p>\n

May 21 — MINI of San Francisco, CA<\/strong><\/p>\n

June 6 — MINI of Chicago, IL<\/strong><\/p>\n

June 9 — Desert MINI of Las Vegas, NV<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

THE WRAPS<\/strong>
\nIf you don’t have the cash to bid on the official, autographed versions you can order custom wraps for your own MINI<\/strong>–every model, color, and year. (Warning, they’re about $800 bones plus about $400 installation.)<\/p>\n

See The Starchild<\/a>, The Demon<\/a>, The Catman<\/a>, and The Spaceman<\/a>. What’s your fav?<\/p>\n

Props to MINI<\/strong> USA CEO Jim McDowell<\/strong> for rockin’\u00a0KISS<\/a> makeup and joining the band onstage at the NY International Auto Show. No word on if his laser pointer shot flames or not.<\/p>\n
