Actually, it's a whole plastic kit (orange) plus graphics and
seatcover. All of the other One Industries similar plastic/graphic/
seat kits (like white/black camo, for example) are $169-$189, so it's
still hella expensive at $259.

With Fusion Spray Paint going for $4 a can, just about anything is
possible...

Nope--don't think I'd know a mango tree until I got conked in the head
by a falling mango.

I'm still thinking about "chicken cooked in its blood..."

whew, I think I'd just stick to the mangos Smile
