I have been trying to figure out whats going on with the whole memorial decal thing. Is there someone that is going to make the decals and if so what do they look like and how can we order them? Also if someone is going to make the decals I think we need to agree on a place to put them so that it is unanimous. I would suggest that we place them just behind the number and below the door handles of our cars, that way we will all look the same and it will look very professional which will also serve as a tribute to our fallen comrades. If anyone has any suggestions or wants to help in the clarification of what we should do please feel free to contribute.

actually...
both myself and the owner of www.impreza.net (Nick C.) (nasioc.com) have been working with Subaru on a memorial decal.
We had several different ideas submitted by graphic designers... and Subaru has chosen a memorial sticker which is to be produced in the near future. We're going to try to take the time to do this right.
Currently we're soliciting bids on the sticker production work.
Note that....
this sticker idea may differ slightly from what was discussed here on ss (i havent read the threads to be honest...) These stickers will be made available for a minimal "donation". Along with officials at the Subaru camp... we will be certain that 100% of the proceeds either go to the families of Mark and Roger, or to their selected charities if they so wish.
These will be made available to everyone.. you can see a sample of this sticker in the new heading now seen on www.nasioc.com
Again, the idea behind this is to show the love and support of the competitors, fans, and friends of Mark and Roger. NOBODY is making a dime off of this.

I belive it's been made clear they would like the donations to go to charities.
from http://www.worldrallynews.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?newsid1058288817,60485, :
"Lovell?s funeral will take place at 10.30... Any donations should be made to to CLIC (Cancer and Leukaemia in Children)."
"Freeman?s funeral will be held at 15.00... Donations should go to the British Heart Foundation."

that would be in the first post here: http://www.specialstage.com/forum/cgi-bin/DCForumID2/1572.html
Who are you dealing with at Subaru that's saying it's okay for the Impreza community to do this, whereas it's not okay for the Rally community to do this?
Thats curious. IMHO, the rally community is MUCH more effected by this.

i'm not taking the bait 
long and short of it -
permission was granted from SUBARU...
really, that's enough said.
i'm not getting in the middle of a political battle...
that would do more harm than good.
this isnt about the subaru community vs rally vs whatever.
why make it out to be?
not the mentality we need IMHO.
Seems to me... someone started the ball rolling..
and it's rolling.. plain and simple....
I for one, am impressed and thankful that so
many had the same idea!!
That only goes to show how respected and admired these men were...

I agree Jamie. Enough about this. I am responsible for starting the decal offer here on specialstage, and the stink about Subaru's involvment with the nasioc tributes. In hindsight I think I made too big a deal about this. I'm sure it's just a lack of communication in corporate america and The e-mail I received was just someone at Subaru failing on the safe side.
The people here have the facts as I know them, and can decide what, if any, decals they want to display; as well as any other way they want to honor Mark and Roger.
Peace, and enough with this...

Sounds like a plan.
I don't see it as a political battle between internet message boards, but a question of doing the right thing in the team's eyes.
I never thought that it's a question of "credit", when it's really a question of respecting the teams wishes.
The only official word I've seen is from the above email from Subaru, but I haven't read any threads over at NASIOC for a couple days...
That's why I asked. If Subaru gave the OK for the stickers, then I will proudly display one...
