Re: List Member Stickers

The "i" addition to a VR6 or (VR4 :-) badge is creative but its too close
to the BMW "M" 318's tooling around the streets of New York. Do a dejanews
search on "BMW badge engineering" and you'll see what I mean... 

A nice "etched glass look" sticker with the list address is my vote. 
Everyone who is artistic can do one up and we can do a poll like on
JWelty's page to see which one wins. 

While on the topic of stickers, check out:

I'm thinking of getting #4 for my rear quarter windows. 
(group purchase?)
