Now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing any chrome trim. Not positive, but I think you're probably right auditech.

The front mount would be pretty visible tho!

I think I wanna do that now. I wanna do it with a 1.6 Euro badge.

Nothing noticeable. Its claimed that it adds 15-20 horses to the wheels if you do ricer math, but the reality is closer to about 5 if you're lucky. The biggest advantage of the chip is it really smooths out power delivery and tremendously improves the 3k rpm 'dead spot.' Well worth the 125 bones for the SpeedTuning chip group buy style

Hah. Now that would be sleeper status. I think if I did that, I'd go the whole nine yards and do the chrome trim as well, just to reeeallly add to the undercover image.
