Sponsorships

what the point of even trying in this world with people like this in it you cant do anything with out being put down even if i have a sponsorship they would be saying that company sucks all their parts are junk but they dont bother me i know my car will get done one way or another and bk2life my car is a 1991 caprice classic and when its done it will be a show stopper and they will be blood sweat and tears when it happens

Do you need someone to break it down for you?

This get sponsored....

You have to build something first, and show them that you are going to benefit them in some way. You can't just beg for freebies...

Build it don't worry about forums and if it looks good enough maybe you can get some audio or something. There are lots of bad ass rides out there that didn't get one thing sponsored so don't feel like your getting left out. I have sent purposal after purposal and nothing so get in it and finish it

Dude people are putting you down because we have all been where your at and we all had are eyes widened. Companies do not just give fre stuff away...it just doesn't happen. There's guys who have built cover trucks...with a gauranteed cover for the truck their building...and still get turned down. My truck has already been featured as Underconstruction in a magazine...I've worked on a handful of features and 2 trucks that have been shot for the cover of Truckin and I can't get anything. I contacted a company about tires and they offered to sell them to me for $150 more a piece than I could get them at Discount Tire. So don't be surprised by the replies in this thread. Sponsors are rare...and very hard to get unless your building it for Sema or your a legend in the truck scene.

This is your car...



You have to get your car to this point before you get anything sponsored.

the red caprice is nice looks like they welder the back doors shut it still has the stock front bumper and that scoop dont look tight

to me u are ur own sponsor...who else puts money into their project YOU...at the end of the day u still have to finish it and most of all enjoy want u have built..no one else will give u free money, only if u already have it then they will but good luck...When im done mine im not gonna look for sponsors..i want to say its my truck, i built it no help no rewards...thats all me...thats more or a reward heart and soul...



hold ur head high and proud
ride low

For Some guys its easier to get a sponsorship from a local shop, or privately owned shop. Most are willing to advertise with someone who will be out at shows and cruise nights. The most important thing is that you have something to show them, like a sponsorship proposal that is personalized to their company and the product you are asking for. A rendering, so the company can see what they will be advertising on. And the most important thing, is that you sell your idea. Especially if your vehicle isn't there. If you have zero people skills, I suggest that you just save up your money, and buy the shit you are trying to get sponsored. ALL companies aren't gonna want to hear you ask for something. Tell them what you are willing to do in exchange for a partnership with them in advertising their product, and tell them why you only want their product. Don't take no for an answer without trying for at least a partial sponsorship. I've been asked to pay just shipping on some items. $150.00 in shipping is worth $800.00 off their products. Poking fun at this guy doesn't help him or anyone else reading this topic. :XL:

That's "2"most important things for all of you that are following along.....
