You want sponsors to pay for all your parts?

Why do you wanna be sponsored? You have to get on the Magazine and then you get sponsored. If you build a bad car you won't have to look hard for sponsors. There was a guy her sponsored by Rockstar Energy drinks but I can't remember his username.

Sponsorships are not worth it imo. You have to show up at many car shows in your area and help promote whom ever your sponsored with. You have to advertise their parts on your car IE stickers everywhere. You'll probably need to put in some good man hours at a booth during a show. They will be able to get you between 10-15% off on their parts after your initiation is finished. And you just loose that feeling that this is my car, my design.

If your looking for a show car type sponsorship very rarely do you find companies that will give you free parts. Its just too easy for any random person to buy the same car and do the same stuff... Most people who receive free parts and good money from sponsors are professional racers.

I say have fun with your car forget sponsors and do your own thing. You don't want to be tied down to a company because you signed a contract to give them free advertisement and waste much of your time all for discounts on parts.
