Re: Removing rear Jetta emblem

["Michael & Carmen Keith" <mikeandcarmen@pdq.net>]

I pretty much like my '98 GLX the way it is as far as appearances go.  I am,
however, planning some performance mods.  Being on a tight budget myself,
I'd rather spend my money on 'go' than 'show.'  That said, however, I am
interested in installing quad-round headlights & removing the rear spoiler.
True to it's name, I think that it "spoils" the lines of the Jetta.  It's
the one thing about the car's appearance that I do not like, but I can live
with it in order to have the VR6 engine.

To each his/her own!
