Sponsorships aren't very easy to obtain. Sponsors usually like to see a car that stands out and one that will best represent the company and their products. For starters, what you will want to do is put together a proposal with lots of pictures. In the proposal, be professional and state how the company will BENEFIT from sponsoring you. Usually, they'd like you to already have a bodykit, wheels, and a nice clean paint job (albeit factory or custom).

Please keep in mind that there are different levels of sponsorships. For the sake of argument, I'll mention three with generic names:

1. Partial: The company will give you a discount on their products, ranging anywhere from 10% to 60%.

2. Full: The company will will give you their product(s) for free.

3. Full Show: The company will give your their products for free, but your car will be considered THEIR car.

With each type of sponsorship comes different stipulations and obligations, such as sporting their stickers, going to specific shows, etc.

These are just some tips that should get you off on the right foot. Remember, not to discourage you or anything, but they'd (usually) like to see something unique that sets you apart from other fixed up cars. Be professional and cordial. Sell yourself. It's like getting a job.
