Who has stitch welded their car?
I am planning on stripping my car and sending it to get this done at a shop. How many should I add? What are the most important places to get? How many should i do, one each between factory welds? That's what i've heard but i'm not sure.

If it's just HPDE's and autocross don't bother. The chassis is pretty stiff as it is, and it really only makes sense if you can do it yourself, so that the cost/benefit ratio is more favorable.

You still have to go to all the effort to completely stip down the car and re-paint everywhere they welded. IMHO it's probably not worth it for you at this point.
Also, are you sure that it's class legal for autocross? It'd suck to get put into a prep or mod class because of that one little thing.

I'm not worried about being in a competitive class for autocross. Autocross is just independant fun for me mostly.
I'm already planning on sanding down the entire car anyway, even the bottom and repainting and adding rubberized coating. That's why i'd like to do this now, since it's the most convenient time to. I've got a couple of rust spots on the bottom and i need to replace rear wheel arches too and some sheet metal on one of the wheel wells.
