*Let me start off by saying that I am going strictly by common sense and guesstimation here and no real actual knowledge or experience.* Good luck, but usually companies that will even consider sponsoring a car want to see a lot of owner hard-earned $, sweat. blood, and tears go into the car before they will assist with their sponsorship parts. They also usually require that you show A LOT and wear all their badges for advertisement. Another thing is they usually want to sponsor a car that they already make parts for, and other companies make parts for, which, when it comes to the Vibe, isn't much! Either way good luck and I hope you can get some companies to sponsor you and even get some more parts out there for us, but with the next gen already out and seemingly hotter than the last, I'm finding it hard to believe it will happen, unfortunately.

Jason pretty much summed it up. You need to put alot into your car and place high at shows, before a sponsor will even consider you. I have known guys who think they can get a sponsor right away and starting getting stuff for free ( they laughed at those guys ) and I have know guys who put roughly $7000 - $8000 into their cars before even getting a sponsor.

What are you planning on doing with the car? most companies that sponsor a car only do so if their parts will get a lot of puplic view. for example NAPA would sponsor a drag car loaded up with all their engine/tranny/suspension performance parts. Its a good investment for NAPA to do this. People see the car on the track and know that NAPA is a good place to go to for parts.You need to ask yourself this question. "What benefit would (insert company name here) have in giving me a sponsorship?" If your just in it for free/cheap parts with no intention of really providing them with any exposure... you likely going to get turned down by just about everyone.
