My sponsor is also where I work. If it wasn't for the constant support of them giving me my paychecks every other week I wouldn't be able to do the things I do to my car...

But honestly it is so hard to get a sponsor. Most have serious rules and guidelines, so basically you have to have a touring show car with several of the companys products already installed and in use. Plus you have to obligate to be in certain shows whenever and wherever the sponsor wants. They mainly want new more popular cars that are hot on the market- like a 350z, there all you see in advertisements now for companies.

Mainly if you want one you have to have a showcase of your car showing how it started and how it has progressed. Become active in the car show world and talk to companies, tell them about your car and what you've done to it and what you plan to do. They either offer their support through price reductions or free products or use your car for a prototype and give the new product to you for letting them use your
car. Just keep an eye out also, sometimes companies post cars they are looking for but you have to live in that area and have the requirements they are are looking for.

the best way to get a 'sponsor' is to find a local shop that might exchange cheaper rates if you advirtize for them and promote their business.
