I would avoid the Chiquita sticker....they just got busted for giving "protection" money to some Columbian rebels. They prolly didn't have much of a choice in the matter, except to move their farms, but there are still a bunch of ignorant puck-heads that have a problem with that, and well, they might take your sticker as some sort of support for that, and might vandalize your car.

BTW, I don't put any kind of political sticker on my ride for the same exact reason. Paranoid? maybe just a little. But then again, I couldn't buy a new engine if someone put sugar in the gas tank (locks can be popped), and I really don't like replacing windows.

It's a good idea for the look, and if you aren't concerned about vandalism and political fall out, then don't worry about it.

And, to conclude, one of my favorite phrases, "That is one nice box!"

my only complaint with that grill is it looks funnywith those little slots and nothing in them, I had that complaint all along though even with it on the RS3, it would look slick if you put some black or some brown in those grooves just to make the green stick out some more

nice, now all you need is some green wheels, and you should be set.

are you going to do the strips in the grill like I suggested? and on the headlights if you could get some candy green, its opaque so it'll be a lighter green, that would be the way to go
