I completely understand.

I'm obviously not a lawyer, nor an expert on copyright infringement by ANY
stretch of the imagination . . . and I actually thought of this while
"speaking" to this guy (a few email volleys) and checking out his website.

In all honesty, I'm VERY surprised that he hasn't been slapped with a C.A.D.
order - he's got TONS of logo decals that he cuts himself.

Everyone from Alpine, Denon, Fosgate, VW, Clarion, Hot Wheels . . .  TONS of
'em!

ALL  great reasons why I am glad that  (listen up all you lawyers out there)
I am in NO WAY affiliated with this guy!

So, uh . . . I can still (ahem) buy the sticker . . . . can't I?

:o)

I can personally vouch for what Kathleen says below.  In the late 90s, Rex
Eastman of Vintage Wheels fame made the same type of "Hot Wheels" Sticker
and both he and I (I was selling them at VW Shows and online as well) were
hauled into court jointly by both Mattel (owner of Hot Wheels) and
Volkswagen for this.  I can assure you this was not and is still not
licensed and they will come after the maker with a vengeance. He will not
last long doing this.  I'm still smarting from the legal fees :-(
