it's sponsors not sponsers lol.
as for the graphics, they're there for advertising purpose as I'm sure you already knew (plus I'm sure you wouldn't turn down the opportunity if they pay you good $ as well on top of free products); FYI the car was like this when I daily it:

Also, you end up owning yourself on the vehicles warranty.
Most people look at a sponsor sticker and don't even know what half those companies make or produced for the car. "It says Tom's on the side...that's good right? I need a Tom's....something, I dunno what, but I need a Tom's thing."

um, no, FYI the warranty is still there, engine's untouched for now.
And where do you see any Tom's decal on the car? there isn't one lol; you have some great points in the argument, but due to false assumptions, they're just unrelated to the topic.

In fact, I have now gone against the idea of an aftermarket exhaust and intake after seeing the barely noticable gains in horsepower. I'm sure your sponsors don't like hearing that.
The 350 just isn't a tuner's car in the same realm as, say a Subaru WRX that has actual stages; each stage bringing the car to noticablly new horsepower and performance levels.

Stop the hate. This is a show car and is sponsored. I think putting on decals for free/heavily discounted products is a fair exchange. As for too flashy? Well, obviously it's a SHOW car so it's supposed to attract attention at shows. It is obviously not his daily driver since he's having the car trailered across the country. This hate usually stems from people with stock cars or people who have no idea what car shows are all about.
If you don't like it, that's fine. You've had your say now move on IMO.

There have been many an argument on CL that say even bolting a supercharger wouldn't yield enough horsepower to make it worth your time or money.
In fact, I have now gone against the idea of an aftermarket exhaust and intake after seeing the barely noticable gains in horsepower. I'm sure your sponsors don't like hearing that.

I saw the car at Night Shift but was a little dissapointed at the Motegi's on the car. I would go back to the Work's if it was me..... And whoever takes your car out from the transport truck should be shot because the car looked like it was just driven off the truck and stuck in the space. It was dirty and had the Motegi boxes just shoved in the back seat.....
