No Decals

I love the clean and/or showroom fresh look, but I always paid attention to who was paying, held my nose and stickered the car accordingly. I just didn't want to leave a bunch of money on the table if I did go to the final.

Car looks a lot better without them.

With a lot of companies requiring a purchase within the past three years, contingency became irrelevant in a lot of cases. Its nice to get money when you do get that far though.

Some of us don't have many things that new on our cars. Other than oil, valve springs & tires.

I have lots on my car and would remove them if I could. Unfortunately after such a long time the glue has leached into the paint and turned things yellow underneath.

I just checked the contingency requirements:

I could legally and ethically claim four products on the contingency list.

I'd rather have the clean "Stock" appearing look than the money that I would get "if" I won a race.

No decals, the car is still under construction and hasn't been to paint yet.
Since I could only claim 4 also no way I'm putting them on a new paint job.
Maybe on the windows, does that count?

A hair dryer will loosen them right up.

I dont get it. Run Lucas Oil and Fluids and Tires of your choice is an extra $1200 bucks. Everybody needs a Helmet Simpson pays another $300. Sunoco you got to have gas too Bam another $300. Not hard to collect. They email you a w9 you email it back. You guys have way too much money if that's a hassle.

I would use a good quality magnetic tape if you don't need a lot of decals.This way if you win you get paid,and if you get tired of the look remove them. gsa612
