| Putting rival car shop stickers on the same car?
A few days ago I went to this car meet, and I see a car with multiple stickers of different car shops. Designo, Drivehard, and etc.
I can understand if you are sponsored by a particular shop or you work/own the shop, you'll be rockin' their sticker on your car. However, why do they put on multiple shop stickers, especially those shops are prob business rivals? Sponsored by all of them, or they just got parts from them and decides to rice up their car?

Free stickers. What if you're like me and know most of the shop owners personally. I like supporting my friends. I don't really care if the shops are competing.

Maybe the guy had work done at both of those shops and he liked the quality of work they did. Now he's advertising both of their shops to spread the word of their good service. Or maybe their's some type of horsepower multiplier if you have more than one shop sticker...

Well, I'm not tryin' to call anyone rice in the beginning. When I saw those stickers, the 1st thing that came in my mind was...it's like putting decals from "RedSuns", "Emperor", and "Akina Speed Stars" onto one car.

maybe they're covering up dents/cracks/scratches in their car that they're too cheap to fix? beats duct tape 
hey, the initial d evo drivers had stickers of all the teams they beat on their cars so it's ok

Do shops give you discount if you sport their stickers? That, or if they pay/sponsor you would be the only way id roll with one

shop stickers don't ADD horsepower, they exponentially increase the horses - adding is for Mugen/TRD stickers, yo.
so if you have 3 shop stickers, you would get 2^3=8 hp increase!
Look out for random shop stickers that give 1hp increase though... cause that way, even if you have 200 of them ... 1^200 =1hp

They are not rivals and they are not meeting at mountain roads to see who wins the togue race up Seymour.
This guy probably just shopped at everywhere and got free stickers.
