I say this b/c often times they look for this "sponshorship" for the freebees not realizing what they're getting themselves into. Some people may not see their car for months as the "sponsor" has it on tour using it for promotions. Ever been to the old HIN shows? How do you think they get some of those cars to travel the whole tour? I can promise you the owners don't travel with them....the sponsor wants the car at EVERY show...to promote their business (whether the owner can be there or not).

Now wit that said....this is an old platform so the only way to get a "sponsorship" is to most likely represent something that is completely unrelated to cars. Think like an energy drink or something like that. And even that is going to be rare and it prob wont be anything close to TT's.

you mean I can't just slap a shop sticker on my car and get a free turbo setup? wtf ((((((

I will never sign a contract to pursue this passion of modding cars again. It took the fun out of it IMO

And I was never a fan of shop banners across the windshield

the only chance you ever have is if you have a new platform, such as the 370z a year ago or when the FT86 comes out (though TT is unlikely anytime after it comes out)
, etc

i like the people who pay a shop to put there sticker on the front windshield and say they are sponsored...

or say they are "sponsored" when all they do is supposedly get a discount on parts... and have nothing on there car from the shops
