This sounds like a bunch of bullshit. Why would someone sponsor you to the tune of $10,000 and still charge you $80 for some damn stickers. They don't see you or your car in person, so how would they know if you were going to be a good representative for their company? How do they know, that you know how to put a car together good enough to drive onto a track or to a show? If they've got tens of thousands of dollars to give to a bunch amatuers to rep. their company, why not spend that money with a professional to makek sure things come out the way they want?
Just thinking outloud.

bugger...shudda read this thread first! 
That dood on the phone was quite a jerk...i asked for a price to see what kinda discount. A'PEXi RX6B...he quotes $4500 + s/h. I said that's retail, most shops list it from $3500- 4200. He sez they're not legit....told me that he sells to Ari @ that price wholesale....welp, Ari's site list it lower than his "wholesale" price. Told him that and he gets hostile and sez "Oh...so ur some kinda special person w/ contacts" I said no, just check the web (wot a dumbass).
He told me he would give me a dollar sponsorship...which is money paid per event participated instead of a co-op sponsorship. Any of you got that offer? Wonder if it's like only $5 for coming 1st or sumpin?!
Thx for the replies, btw.
