well spike the sponsor are mostly simple to get as long as u dont ask for much. see people think getting sponsor is getting al kinds of stuff free. i used to work for auto parts store for like 6 years so i have been to sema and ces which are the big trade shows in vegas, hell my cousin right now works for trend that does billet, and they got a couple car in sema. but the way u get sponsor is to just present your car like a job app. what i mean is make it look professional. u know what the intentions are as far as show and and far as goal. next would be which sponsor u hit up. for instance i am going to be hitting up ignited for a lighted push button switch. thats it, do u think the company will go for it a 65 dollar switch for some advertising. maybe maybe not but hey if i was the ad person i shure as heck go for it. some sponsor will give u big discount, i had one guy email me and asked if i wanted the lambo door and was going to sell me the kit for half like 400 bucks but problem is i would have to modify some stuff and it was going to be a test car. so it depends. the sponsor i have are simple alpine, cause i got some stuff from a stereo shop that i used to work for and the alpine rep was cool. that was cool.i got the intrax at a discount price from intrax, i got the dunlop discount and free K & N filter when i worked at the auto part store. so u see u start small then u can work up to bigger things, still waiting for sponsor kit from compactdivision but craig is really busy. so u see it not that company wont give u stuff. its that u can't have all the stuff for free. plus i have owned a previous show car. so that help alot to cause i show them what i did to that car and plan to do with this car.
