lol, I highly doubt any companies will sponsor a stock vehicle unless it's one of their own they are building from scratch or the owner has other vehicles with past proven history. You need to be somewhat proven...i would consider estis fatuush as a great candidate bc he is doing something with the car, it's not like he's wanting to get into the drift scene or thinking about getting into...he's already there and on his own. That alone will raise the eyebrow of a potential sponsor and you just have to convince them that the publicity will only get better if you have their part(s) on your car. You have to sell yourself to the company, showing them you are willing to promote their product(s) with monster truck force...

Start small, go to a sign shop and work out a deal with them...or maybe start with a paint shop. hell, if you buy the paint and do most of the taping i can spray it...just get a couple quarts or a gallon of satin black and maybe throw a little really fine metallic in it. With a scotch pad and paint thinner it could be done in a couple hours max. Remember they will feed off other companies, tell you them you have a sign shop willing to do their graphics anyway they like, etc.

Write up a resume for your car...what you've done to it and also what your future plans along with both a past and future event schedule. Maybe a wishlist explaining how each part will make you that much better and showing a timeline for all of it will show determination...it's a numbers game, the more you talk the more sponsors you can potentially have...

JTuned has a great article on getting sponsors, i can't access their site from work but i'll find the link tonight if someone doesn't beat me to it...
