I'd rather pay honestly. People never just give you stuff for free, they "give" it for free. You need to represent their company with stickers, t-shirts, handing out fliers, etc. You need to be at a certain amount of shows,/events and the shows/events that they tell you to be at, in any given year. If the company isn't represented on the car and you keep their product, they send you a bill for it plus interest for the time you had the car on the part (had this happen to a friend I know). The car also needs to be displayed a certain way so the part can be seen, and if you have a showboard you MUST mention on it that they sponsored you and provided that part. If it's an interior part the windows need to be down and it in full visible display at all times during the show or the bill comes a knocking.

It's truthfully not all it's cracked up to be and it means so much more when you got the car as far as you did by yourself. At least that's how I feel.

WTF?! I'd tell 'em to kiss my ass and send back the used part (or just keep it).

Dead serious, read some of the fine print in the agreements that they have with you when they sponsor the car. It's literal insanity.

Anyways car looks great
No you haven't it just came out on Friday. That was my picture in this same magazine for show coverage.

He asked me what my future plans were, and that was in the future plans column. I'm only around 300 and that was in the current column, I guess they write whatever they want nowadays. The rest of it is spot on though and the turbo is here with me with all supporting mods capable of that (my goal this year).

so you currently have a stage 3 on the car? or that's the turbo going on this year? congrats by the way on yet another spot in a mag!
