And I thank you for that (as well as the others who run my stickers). I also appreciate it greatly.

For the record, I don't really consider the "advertising" completely free. After all, I do spend a LOT of free time discussing options and often times talking people out of more expensive stuff if they don't need it.
.

I WOULD run stranoparts stickers if I had them.. (hint hint).

But seriously, I ONLY put stickers on my car for stuff that is IN my car. I am not a fan of advertising for somebody unless they have treated me well in my racing experiences. (ie, Strano!)

I understand your initial point Karen, but I don't mind running stickers if I run the products. As far as the BIG Quarter panel 2 foot tall and 2 foot high sticker, i am reserving that for the first person to sign up for my $600 annual sponsorship package...

So, little stickers, no problem. BIG DECALS.. i need a little cash for a set of tires. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Have you seen the new Kumho stickers? They are larger then 2 feet. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I run Stranoparts stickers and Insane exhaust stickers along with every other sticker for contingancy and SCCA requirement stuff.  I'll run stickers of companies that are good to me and/or do great work.

And I thank you for that (as well as the others who run my stickers). I also appreciate it greatly.

For the record, I don't really consider the "advertising" completely free. After all, I do spend a LOT of free time discussing options and often times talking people out of more expensive stuff if they don't need it.

And the best advertising is word-of-mouth, or referals. No ad in a forum, or in a magazine works as well.

Wasn't referring to you.

In fact other than a redline sticker, SUNOCO race fuels, and FRRAX.com stickers, yours is the only bussiness sticker that (that isn't required)


Your case is different. If I owned a Bimmer, Bob's shop would be different too (which must be the reason why his customers run huge decals).

In a very few instances "help" goes beyond the sale...


If someone sees my car it will look like it has stickers everywhere....


Let's see....

TireRack sticker on windsheild. Wire wheel SCCA sticker on front hood. SCCA road to Topeka stickers 1 per side. SCCA Solo events stickers 1 per side. Subaru Cendiv stickers 1 per side. National Tour stickers 1/side, 74 ESP on both sides, Other than the National Tour stickers ALL of those are required stickers.

Also have a stranoparts.com, redline oils, Sunoco, Honest Charlies speed shop stickers, and 3 Southern Culture On The Skids stickers on the rear window

I only run stickers if somebody has

1) Given me free stuff
2) Given me stuff at a discount
3) Offered free setup advice (Hi Sam (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

Not counting contingency and "series sponsor" stickers, of course, since they sorta fall under Nos. 1 & 2. If it wasn't for Tirerack and other SCCA sponsors, I would probably have to pay more $$$ for entry fees.

P.S. Still trying to figure out why I have "Powered by Guinness" stickers. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have a Sunoco Race Fuels one too...

I also ran Koni, Bilstein on my SS.

My favorite sticker is the US flag though. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I left all the stickers on the SS since it's arrest me red anyways. I peeled off the tirerack shit from the Z06 though and took off all the vinyl even in between the Atlanta events b/c I made special effort to make the car ultrastealthy - !DRL mod.

cops can't pull over what they can't see.

I agree the Kumho hood sticker is too damned big. But the last laugh is on them when I get enough drivers for a ASP class in the Pro Solos and we can rob them of some of their money.

Hummm, if I had some of those nifty stranoparts stickers, I know a good place on the car for 'em (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (hint, hint)

My car has the National Tour package and 10 inch numbers 24/7/365...can you say "Cop Magnet" boys and girls? Need to find a good place for the FRRAX stickers - goin' on this week.

Where do we go to get FRRAX stickers?

I could use some Strano parts stickers too! I never received any in the stuff I've ordered.

Currently, most of my stickers are on the tool box, except for the billion that we placed on a camry that parked in front of my house one night.

You either have to specifically tell Sam you want some when you order something or he'll give you some at a National Tour or Pro Solo if he's in attendance.
He should really send them out with every order. I'd pass them onto another f-body guy for him if I already had a pair for my car.

thread hijacker aka trackbird will sell you a pair of FRRAX stickers I do believe.

Man, my legend is growing (I split one of the last topics Eugenio and I thoroughly hijacked, the first step is admitting that you have a problem).

I do have FRRAX stickers left. I have 3 x 10" in Red, Blue, Metallic grey (not quite silver?), black, and white. I also have a few of the large 24" wide (great for enclosed trailers, or the back window of trucks) 3 color frrax logos (black, red, blue).

Just send a PM with what you need.

I don't send stickers out with all orders for a pretty simple reason. Ironically one that kind of started the thread.

I don't like throwing money away, and my stickers are a few bucks each. And *ahem* even some of you who have them don't run them. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If you ask, I'll get you some. Though all I have right now are white stickers. Just send me you addresses and I'll get you some.

BTW, in Pat's case. I fulfilled all *3* of his requirements, not just #3. How are my L98 manifolds doing'? Or the quantity discount on the 2 Quaifes you bought for you old toys? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

And Lonnie.... I know you weren't talking about me, I just thought I'd chime in since not everyone feels the same as you do. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I can vouch for that. After starting to get stickers made, I was amazed at how quickly that adds up.

I guess I would need a new stranoparts sticker now that the Camaro is gone. You do sell Alfa parts, don't you Sam? I know I will need some Koni's at least.

Kevin, I need to return one of the frrax stickers to you. The other one I still need to put on the Tahoe.

Mitch... IMCA doesn't charge your for required stickers....they instead charge you $100 for a license that is bundled with necessary stickers. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)

Yep.... I've even spec'd some revalve rate for Koni Sports on a Milano that a customer autocrosses. Fun car, not real fast.... but fun. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
