Don't get your car sponsored unless it's from a big name everyone knows. Like how Falken seems to be popular out west.

Thanks for that link i knew it looked a little scamish.....

Wow, that stuff is still around? I thought those scam sites were a thing of the past!

If it's anything like the ones I've dealt with in the past, it's "legit" to a point. You CAN get sponsored, but it ends up costing you a good deal of money. You also have to buy a shitload of parts at "discount prices", and participate in a number of shows and events to qualify. The first things you get are stupid things like vinyl decals (that wasn't too cool back in 2003 when I signed up for a site like that... it's absolutely laughable now!) You can eventually work your way up to real stuff, like wheels and audio equipment... but in the end, it's not worth it.

If you want to be sponsored, just build your car your own way. Stick to the tasteful side of current trends. Get high quality photos taken of your car (paying a professional photographer would be wise.) Submit your photos to magazines, blogs, etc... the more exposure, the better. Enter your car in shows. Winning is a plus. Enter your car in race events if you're looking for performance sponsorships (again, winning is a plus!)
Then you can start applying to quality companies for sponsorships directly. If a company sees that you have a car worth noticing, that you make an effort to get it noticed, and that you would bring them lots of positive attention, they will be happy to sponsor you. To them, it's very cheap advertising!

Also keep in mind that a '90-'93 Accord isn't going to get sponsored by a major company, most likely. Even the smaller national companies who would sponsor this car would almost always require thousands of dollars of your own money already in the car beforehand. Sponsoring is not a way to get your project funded. It's more of a way to keep things fresh when you're at or near the top.

Also true. Old cars only become attractive to sponsors when they're trendy. Say, if you had a 1984 Corolla in 2006, you'd have sponsors knocking down your door.
90-93 Accords have NEVER been trendy!

unless you're always hitting the show circuit or race circuit (meaning being in it) there is no chance for a sponsership with a stock CB. sorry for being frank, just telling it how it is

Do you understand how that website works?
