? about sponsorships
Could I get a sponsorship if my car hasn't been modded yet. What I'm asking is...would the sponsor give me money so that I could mod my car if they saw potential in it? I've heard a lot about sponsorships, but I'm not exactly sure what they're for. ![Shrug :shrug:](./images/smilies/shrug.gif)

Re: ? about sponsorships
most of the time a company will sponsor you if you have media coverage. its very hard to get a sponsor any other way. but its not impossible. the best thing to do is write a resume that shows your plans for the car and what major car shows you will be attending. if you dont plan on going to shows dont bother. i hope this helps.

Re: ? about sponsorships
Not Neccessarily, I got my sponsorship on a car I paid $700 for. All I did was I went to a local shop that does fiberglass and painting, and asked if I could trade work out for some learning experience ( molding fiberglass, lucite, painting, custom work, ect..
He offered me a sponsorship a few days later when he knew I was serious. Im not only getting mycar redone, but Im going to be doing it myself under his supervision.

Re: ? about sponsorships
Most of the time, sponsorships come as your car gets more noticed. I got sponsored by Toyo tires, Clutchmasters, and a few local places. Its pretty cool, but some companies are rediculous! For example, Toyo tires wants you to be in a magazine article, win a best of show award at a national show with over x amount of entries, or something thats comparable, within 90 days of sponsorship, or else you gotta pay them for the tires! I opted for a partial sponsorship, where I had to wear Toyo tire banners AND place in the top 3 at 3 shows, AND pay 215 a tire (T1-S 245/35/19) since there is no way my car was/is going to be in a magazine. BTW, this was on my other car. Other companies aren't as strict. BTW, I got noticed by the VP of sales at a show by winning the burnout contest, is which I threw the belts on a brand new set of Toyo FZ4's in 43 seconds. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
