Dont listen to Im2fast4U! in fact I'm making that a rule now! anyone caught talking to him will be banned. THIS I COMMAND! nah j/k ........no but seriously dont talk to him...no no j/k......no but seriously dont let him discourage you.
NOPI is big even if its an award in "best black neon with 14" rims category from the 42653 zip" who gives a crap, its still NOPI!
and while yes companies are not giving sponsorships away the fact is they still have a selective process.
Companies like Carbon-creations and 5Zigen still recieve about 40 applications for sponsorship a day!
Half of those are from completely stock cars and then there is the "I have a muffler and wing and unpainted body kit, I am sooo modded!"
Sponsorship agent have to painfully go through them and stamp "REJECT" on a bunch of applications weekly. When you submit the fact that you are an active participant then you catch thier attention. when they read you actually won an event then they become really interested, when they read it was at NOPI and it was in a mag and it was on tv and its all over the net then they will pick up the phone and call you. why am I so sure you will get sponsored? when was the last time you saw a 3S on a mag? (besides the Pit Road M GTO) the fact is the rareness of you car will further peak thier interest. in a world where the Civic is as abundant as the cockroach, the 240sx is the new Civic and the EVO is a dime a dozen the 3s is king.
I did a short post on how I got my cars sponsored some time ago. its in the stickies. check it out. as for what companies to choose, well go crazy check out all the companies that peak your interest, the more applications you submit the better the chance someone will call.
