You need to spend money to save money, kid.

Dayum! $10k? If you don't mind asking, on what mods?

Haha, I deleted my comment because I just felt like an asshole after posting like that.

But, I don't know where the hell it all went, but I've kept track of it all.

Current Build:
Exterior
Avery Gloss Emerald Green Pearl Metallic Vinyl Wrap
C-West Front Half Spoiler
C-West Sideskirts
C-West Rear Half Spoiler
The Headlight Firm Custom Headlights
Valenti Tail Lights
Valenti Rear Bumper Light
Nigel-JDM Fog Light Kit w/ Nokya H11 Yellow Bulbs
Hella Supertones
F'n A Automotive Underglow Kit
Toyota Badges

Suspension/Wheels/Tires

Megan Toe Arms
ESM 002R Platinum 17x10 +15

Power

In addition to to those, I've got a set of Rota Grids, as well as SSR GTV02's, with supporting tires. So it all adds up I guess.

Yep that was it. I saw it at Scion .com! Knew I had seen it elsewhere as it would be hard to forget that wrap since it is the same colour as (parts of) my 55 Chev.

Thanks for the mod info!

See this? This is a good example for how to get a sponsorship! ModBargin gave very great post on it too!

Nice looking car.

To be honest, you don't want to be sponsored. Everything you do has to be done to their specifics. Plus car show after show after show you HAVE to attend to promote their product. Sounds like more of a headache then anything else. I don't know much about Canada, but I highly doubt there is much of a car scene in Alberta. Companies look at your location to see if their is enough people to offer a demand for their products.

My two cents, just build it how you want. Save save save money and take your time.

Agreed. We all have had these sponsorship fantasies as a kid, but you'll eventually grow out of it. If you're a grown man (or a woman) with a stable job just keep it aside as a hobby.

Anyways, this vid explains it well for sponsorship.

Nailed it!

But the thing is nobody is going to give you anything until you can prove you can win/be competative on your own.

But the biggest thing is what can you do for them in return? If everyone just handed out free stuff nobody would stay in business

PERFECTLY SAID.
