They even said to me "dude the second were done if you wanna take that sticker off thats totally cool", but I do have loyalty. They had my car for over 3 weeks in total since they decided to make a lip kit for it. Thats my only daily driver so for 3 weeks I had to borrow other cars to go to work. They GAVE me all that stuff for allowing them to have my car and for me to take pictures of. They offered to repaint my front bumper because when they took the mould off, it ripped a bunch of paint off the front of my car. Once they have all the pictures of the wing that they need, my obligation to them is fulfilled. As you see I still have the sticker on there and another one is going on the front.
I am paying for a carbon fiber insert and I am keeping the lip kit. I still may choose to keep the wing depending on how i like it with the carbon. Needless to say, the wing belongs to me, it was payment for giving them my car and taking pictures for them. None of you know what andy and I talked about, and none of you know whats going on. So I would love if the presumptuous swarm of angry bees would get off my back.

The fact that you're so defensive is a good indication that you know it's "in poor taste" to ditch the "free" stuff you just got. No one said what you're doing is "illegal" or outside your agreement with Kaminari, we're just saying that it looks like you're trying to turn a profit on the wing without regard to how it looks for Kaminari.
Let me put it another way: I was originally contacted about the wing via some friends in the SCCA. Because I knew the wing wasn't something I'd leave on my car for the race season, I turned it down and passed it to the SECCS board so someone that wanted it could have the opportunity. I very easily could have "just taken pictures" of the car with the wing and sold it the next week, but I thought someone else could have used the hookup.
