k i know a lot was said about this topic last year but I'm new to the whole show off your car deal and I'm honestly curious about sponsorships and would really like more info so feel free to offer criticism and or support because i think my car would be a unique one for a sponsorship you know a change of pace from all the imports  

what is your car?  

its a 1992 pontiac grand prix. its a 2dr se model the interior needs some work and the body needs a coat of paint (i went broke replacing the body panels and doing the other mods so i wasnt able to fix the paint job  

92 grand prix? hmmm, good luck with that man, thats qay off from what they are lookin for. you better work your a** off on this one  

thanx ive already had the heads shaved the brakes upgraded put KYB struts on the rear and spent $600 on just tires. the car has a 3 year production run 4 sided grill body kit on it and its unique as in where i live the only ones you see around have the 5 sided grill body kit  

.....  

do you have any pictures of this sweet ride?  

yeah, generally a sponsored car is going to be one that a lot of people have an interest in, aka a popular car at the time.  No matter how much the car means to u personally, unless there is something spectacular done your 92 grand prix that is going to draw a ton of attention there is not going to be much interest in sponsoring your ride.

my two cents  

Woah!!  And I thought I had a difficult time with my Saturn.  You have quite a few things going against you.  You have to look at it from the manufacturers eyes.  How would giving you free products benefit the company?  There are probably a few companies out there that would hook you up with something but the question is what would they be able to give you?  It would definitely have to be something universal because I don't think there are many companies that make specific products for your vehicle.  

If you do find a company that makes a product that you want you still have to think about how you can make yourself valuable to the company.  Also, is what they may ask of you in return worth the value of the product you are to receive in your opinion.

Advertisement is expensive and you don't want to put four 2 foot advertising banners on your car just to get a product worth $100.  It may be worth it just to build you car without sponsorship and save yourself the many headaches that come hand and hand with sponsorships.  In addition, once you complete your car you will have more respect from yourself and also earn more respect from others due to the fact that you did it on your own without any outside help.  That's one of the reasons that I'm so proud of my car.

Best of luck.

Q.  

yeah im running into the same problem with my 2001 tiburon not many places make parts specifically for it so not really any major sponsors but good luck  

I know it's hard to break into the sponsorship scene, like getting your first credit card. We are looking to provide possible sponsorship to serious people as enthusiastic about this sport as us. Send me an email with some pics of your car and we can show you our program. adamzatko@sngperformance.com
