Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Sponsership (local)

My friend is car know it all and he wants to start a sponsership website (stores look, if they like they contact him, he contacts the car owner, hook up occurs) for 20 dollars a year, i am fine with the price but i am a little worried about the successfulness of this. I know my celica is not great but i want to see how i can get attention for the people near me (mainly for sponsership) what do you suggest i get? (planning for my kit and Intake soon.) this is my car so far Firestorm's Celica

by the way, i now have chrome tails

come on guys, gime a reply

those are my tails

first step... get rid of those tails...

second step... get a name brand body kit and PAINT it...

third step... get some awsome forged rims

fourth step ... get a killer system

fifth step... put a proposal together of what you can do for the company you wish to sponsor you... then if they like your car ect... they will sponsor you...

well if you get a body kit, ill buy your trd kit off ya, i dont care bout chips or scratches cause i would have to paint it red anyways

i dont think he is talking about me

i have those tails

not feelin the tail

Why does everybody around here hates chrome tails ? I like em a lot and I don't see why EVERYBODY seems to be against em.. is there a reason for that that I should know about ?

i dont hate them...

the only color it looks decent on is silver...

the rest looks RICE

seriously...i love the car and the trd kit but the tails keep and paint them red or black. either that or jus put the stock ones...

Maybe it's the fact that you see them on every honda civic in your neighborhood... and it's not just chrome tails. Chrome rims look horrid. Chrome accents on the outside. The celica is not a luxury car and just can't pull it off with a person adding bling bling...it just looks cheap and rice. IMO...and most of the celica community.

word^^

Hehe wel Chrome aint cheap and hell I love the Veilside Andrew V racing rimm's in chrome

I like the tails

Thank god I'm not the only one

chrome tails

chrome tails look retarded on any celica

also, you need to put some more time/effort in if you expect to get sponsored. It sometimes takes spending a lot of your own $$$ before you get any good sponsors

but you'll def want to write a proposal.

You might get a chance of being sponsored if...
1. You buy the CAI
2. Add a body kit
3. Get some 17" or 18" rims
4. Drop your car
Do all that and let us know how it works out. Good luck.

I think chromed tails look ghey on any car, and I hate how they are appearing on Lexus' as a factory option.

yeah those tails...no good bro

the cai i am about to buy CAI (AEM since it gives better gains for low RPMS) within a week, the body kit i will buy in 2-3 months, rims migh ttake a while to save up for and the drop will too. But why drop when you get a kit, i got a lot of speed bumps near my school and town

Huh, those tail are ok, if you like them.. but try to find some carbon fiber ones..

I don't know, but i don't think Celica would look good in Chromed.. Celica is a sport car, there for it looks way better when it looks fast and agressive rather than Bling Bling slow Chrome...!!

do you kno how hard it is
to get sponsored by a reputable
and prestigious company.. its
almost impossible to get a full
sponsorships and very hard to get
partial.

yea you have to have a nice looking car that catches people eye...and different kinda style from every other car...i think when i get my next mods done im gonna start looking for a sponsorship...

yeah it is not easy to attain sponsorships. It is all about getting the first big opputunity and making the most of it. I was fortunate to get in with the right people and now have a ton of companies I work with regularly on my cougar as well as our shop expedition and neon.

^^ what he said. hell I'm the fastest N/A celica around, o tmore exposure then I could want, pending mag articles and I still cant get a decent sponsorship. mainly cause I dont have the time to commit my self to any one

but hey good luck and remember not to get discouraged when you get denied. happens to the best of us

pretty much what all these guys are saying but remember to be original to some extent. those chrome tails are seen on everyones car. yeah its going to be hard to be original but you got to try. As for your streets with speed bumps you might want to find a daily driver and keep your car garaged. you dont want to have a kit and break it the fist day and you dont want to chip the paint. most people who have a sponsorship dont use their car that is sponsored as their daily driver, they have another. but good luck with everything

yes not many elite level sponsor cars are driven other than weekends. Definately not possible to daily drive a show vehicle unless you're repainting all the time b/c stone chips and normal tear and wear start to show.

then I'm one of the few... sponsored but yet still daily driven

Humm I don't know if SCP would count as sponsorship.. but is easy to get in... humm they sell you the pieces for whole sale prices... so you really get a deal, but I don't think that it would be clasiffy as and sponsorship thingie..
