Usually when I buy a part it comes with a sticker or two. If i like the product and the sticker doesnt look like it belongs on a pink barbie car then i have no problem slapping it on my ride. Sometimes I get stickers from retailers and shops where I get my stuff and I do the same with them. I'm always looking for sponsers to help out with the racing costs so I'm not opposed to advertise in hopes of future or continued sponsership.

Besides, its really hard to keep my black plastic shiny when all it takes is a speck of dirt to cause a 8" long scratch down my fender!!

some of you talking about covering the stress marks on your blue palstic. have you ever tried using a hair drier to remove the stress marks? you probably have alraedy heard of it but it's an old mx trick. tack a hair drier and just heat the area with the stress mark. don't get it so hot it melts but just keep the drier blowing on it and the white will start to go away and the blue comes back. it usually doesn't get rid of all the white unless it is very light to start with but it does make it less noticable. like i said most of you have probably already heard of this. i do it just about every weekend to my sons pw-50, he's fearless and the fenders show it!
