Only one problem: I have defaced it with a HUGE daisy decal. And it fell
apart on me in grid during the Divisional, and there was some small damage
done, nothing that can't be replaced. Otherwise, I would.
I STILL recommend Bell Motorsports. This is more my error than theirs, in my
opinion.

take it back to bell motorsports. they should take it back, as they should
have given you what you asked for in the first place.
