yes.. you need to make sure your car is pretty much all modified.. go to events, get some coverage

then apply for sponsorship if it's open to vendors of your choice, that's a harder route

most people get sponsorship through local teams that are sponsored by the parts manufacturers.

i was going to do a search but thanks seize

yeah, never think that sponsorship is a way to get parts for cheap. it's about relationships and business. and i have to say in today's economy? it's only tougher. looking at your mod list, you have a long way to go before companies are willing to "invest" in your car by sponsoring.

me for one don't seriously go after sponsorship coz' of all the events schedule. it's painful

not to mention the crap load of stuff that you don't want but forced to put on your car and the super ugly stickers and unlimited events you have to go

that's why I mentioned team sponsorship, so at least you get much cheaper parts that way

nothing will be free these days...

true to what they say... sure they will sponsor you but u still have to pay for parts and if you get it at cost then they are good because you have to attend the shows and stuff. Basically your doing the hard work after they give u the part.
