Free Car Sponsorships & Free Parts: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

And so the saying goes… “nothing in life is free”. Or is it? Something popular amongst automotive enthusiasts is a car sponsorship. It can come in the form of a full or partial sponsorship and generally is marketed to people as a “free car sponsorship”. But what does this mean? We have many customers that read about this online, get confused over what it actually entails, and then ask us if we offer free car sponsorships. We decided we would put something together, and then direct people here as a point of reference to allow them to better understand The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of “Free Car Sponsorships”.

The Good

What is a car or truck sponsorship?
So let’s get the basics out of the way. A sponsorship is when a manufacture sponsors you and your car because they believe that you have what it takes to do marketing for them. They believe that if they give you free car parts, that you would put them on your car or truck and then represent them in car shows, tell your friends about them, and talk about them on forums. Basically you are helping to market and advertise them. There’s nothing wrong with this, and in fact, it’s a great way for people to get performance parts for their cars, and a great way for manufacturers to get the word out about them and their products. Race teams are almost always sponsored, and receive money to race and compete, which usually involves using the manufacturer’s parts on your race car in addition to lots of branding in the form of stickers and other advertising.

So what’s the deal with free car sponsorships?
There are a bunch of places out there that lure you in with this phrase. They encourage you to apply for a free car sponsorship to see if there’s a manufacturer who wants to work with you, likes what you have already done with your car, and feels you will be a good fit to be a part of their brand. It’s very tempting. Maybe you go to shows already or maybe you race your car on the weekends at the drag strip or autocross. It would be great to have some free parts if all you need to do is to put a few stickers on your car… right?

The Bad

Sounds great! What can possibly go wrong?
Here’s where we feel that some of these places take advantage of people. They get you excited that you have an opportunity to get a car sponsorship, and ask you to sign up. When you sign up, they say you will get reviewed. This review process can take anywhere from 24, 48 or 72 hours. Apparently what they are doing is sending pictures of your car, and your list of modifications, to manufacturers asking if they like what they see. Often times, what happens is that they actually don’t send your application to anyone. They reply to you, and they say “Congratulations! You have won a partial sponsorship!” What a partial sponsorship means, is that you will get parts for your car, but you have to pay for them. They say that the partial sponsorship means that while you do have to pay for the parts, they give you a significant discount on them. A customer has told us that the price they had to pay for a part, after their partial sponsorship, wasn’t much cheaper than what they could find online.

Sometimes they offer you a cash sponsorship. The deal is that they will pay you to put stickers and banners on your car. This might be good for some people, but keep in mind that you would need to be contractually obligated to attend a certain amount of shows, or race in a certain amount of races to make sure that the manufacturer gets their money’s worth.

The Ugly

Ok, so this doesn’t sound too bad… I want to try it. Anything I need to look out for?
So far the “bad” listed above isn’t necessarily so bad. The manufacturer is offering you a discount on parts, cash or a combination in exchange for marketing them and their products. Usually this can be a fair exchange. The problem is when this gets advertised as a “free car sponsorship”, since you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket to be a part of a program like this. Might work for some people, and if it does, then you should try it.

What we wanted to warn about, was places that charge you a free to enter your car to get a sponsorship. My nature, sponsorships are supposed to be free.. an exchange of parts for cash for advertising. Be careful of places that charge you money to enter your car and promise that you have the the best chances of winning a sponsorship because you are paying to enter.

Should I do this?

Don’t get us wrong… we’re not saying that all car sponsorships aren’t what they seem. It can definitely work for some people. However, be careful of what you are signing yourself up for. Just know that no one gives out free stuff and expects nothing in return. The point of finding sponsors is that they give you what you need to represent them the way they want to be represented. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s not always going to be what it seems. Also, if your car is bone stock or just has a few little mods, it would be way more difficult to get a sponsorship.

What we would recommend is to reach out to manufacturers yourself. Find ones that are local to you. Even find a performance shop that’s in your area. Tell them what car or truck you have, and ask them if they want to use your vehicle to test fit parts on. Usually they need vehicles for parts fabrication and fitment, and they let you keep the parts for free after in exchange for them using your car. Check their websites also… sometimes they have a section called “Vehicles Wanted”. Check their Facebook pages as well, you will usually find them asking for customers with specific cars all the time to test parts on. It’s all out there, you just need to look, and this is indeed free!

    1. Can you help me in getting sponsor

  2. ^ bud I’ve been trying to find real sponsors and there just hard to fine by

    1. You all need to think outside of the box. Sponsors are easy to get. Your just not going to get it with a Motorsports Business because others have screwed that up for people looking such as yourself. Remember think outside the box.

      1. Bro I got something an it’s pissing off ppl cuz under the nose big game changer need intake speacilst.you know him on a hunch

      2. Bro I got something an it’s pissing off ppl cuz under the nose big game changer need intake speacilst.you know him on a hunch

  3. Freecarsponsors is a scam they charge you $80-100 to enter sen d you two decals if anything then cut you off
    if its a real sponsor why are you paying and the fee that got real parts got eBay parts I recently talked to aem and vivid and they
    only give discounts wich weren’t even discounted prices more like $2 off of shipping or item that had free shipping you get $2 off the cost

  4. Hello Redline360, Maaco is doing a Half Sponsor, Half Barter Dodge Viper Blue with White Racing Stripes Paint Job . Basically It Needs everything, engine parts, suspension, interior, etc. Soon it will have a body kit like the one in below link =

    Thankyou in advance for any and all help, also sponsor ideas and people to contact would be appreciated. I got this Car on my birthday 12-8-2013 and even had to live in it briefly after being robbed of all possesions / tools /clothes/ washer dryer/ now I am in a newly remodeled home, new roof, tilt in windows, siding,m paint,tile, now I am going back into sales ands phasing out of Handyman work off and on since 1991. And I really need my car to be able to get everywhere USA for Sales and Minstry work.Thanks again. DWS.

  5. Is this actually legit? I’m looking for sponsors for my 84 Mustang, any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

  6. I have a 1993 bmw 525I that I drive and want to get sponssered I love giveing my car positive attention n I love driving fast

  7. I have a 1999 Nissan Altima I would love to get sponsered, free stickers or products,,,you can find me at summit raceway thanks

  8. I have an 08 Subaru wrx hatchback and I have three sponsors all partial sponsors but I reached out to them personally and sent them huge emails saying what shows I go to meets ect.. One of my sponsors is a local business that I help out at in return for a good discount sometimes free work, another sponsor gave me a 50% discount in return for puting there sticker on my car and the contract I signed didn’t say I had to attend a certain amount of shows or anything they just put the trust in you to advertise for them. And my last sponsor have me free clothes stickers and a 10% discount off any products I order off there site. So my advice is just don’t be afraid to send large emails or letters with all your info about you, your car, and what shoes you plan to do and what you plan to do to your car.

    1. I was looking up some info for a friend. He just bought a Nissan 350z, started racing and is pretty good. Anyway, he has only upgraded three things. He was wanting to know how to get sponsored as well. Since I read your post I will pass some info onto him as to how-to.
      Thanks,
      Mike

    2. Exactly look at it like this, your sending a resume for work but it’s going to be and Professional about you, car, etc. But what they really want to know is how you plan to market them and increase there revenue. Talk about you but focus on sponsor and how it can be a win win for both. Also stay thinking outside of box and you will get Sponsors. I have 10 and I find it so easy I’m replacing them with new ones as I meet with a CEO to a company and landed another.
      Stay focused on the prize and what your going to do to get that prize

    1. Hey, John, upgrading your rims/wheels is one of the easiest modifications you can make. Often times, you can just clean your rims thoroughly and then paint them black. This can often enhance your car’s appearance and should only take about two hours. Also, black rims look good on almost any vehicle of and color. I would advise doing this.

These are just the cosmetics, it’s engine is a beauty. It’s spotless. I would love some help getting it done. Being raised in a home with an alcoholic father was hard. Never much money in the house. I have a dream also about becoming a marine. It took me a year to enlist. Then finally when I was at bootcamp I was sent home after two months of training. I got discharged over a lie with a Corpsmen. Now that I’m home, it’s hard to get a job with a general discharge and being straight out of high school as well as no job experience makes it hard to make money to get it done. I’m planning on re enlisting and getting what I started with bootcamp and my dream car. I would love the help with my car. Anything helps…

  30. Hey people! I have extremely bad news for you. If you want to be full sponsored in any way, you have to be well known. Meaning that you have a better chance meeting chuck norris in a bar than getting a free turbo kit for your car. My advice to you is to quit your job at mcdonalds (yes i know you think you deserve 15/hr), get a big boy job, and show yourself that you can do it on your own.

  31. I have a 1995 Ford Windstar/Nissan Skyline, yes my van has been modded using the chassis, suspension, engine and trans from said Skyline. As of now I am able to run 10.7 1/4 mile @ 190mph. I would like to get some sponsors to improve my speed and handling so I can get to an 8sec van.

  43. Hello car guy,and gals. I just filed out an application for car sponsor and less then 6 hrs i was told my ride didn’t make the cut. Come on now, my dad passed last year,and in the garage sat this 77′ sj, ttop pontiac grandprix that has not been touched in 35yrs. I would like to see more muscle cars out there, not that I don’t like tuners but everyone has em’. I think the reason is, like me younger guys get cars passed down and can’t afford the high costs of parts. I’ll keep searching for the rite sponsor cause I know my gp I worthy of car shows and advertising. Thanks guys! And remember make em fast,loud, and jaw dropping!

  44. I have a white 1982 c10 Chevy Silverado SWB in the Dallas, Tx area I am curious about getting sponsored. I am in high-school, but I am not stupid and have and will see scams coming. A lot of people at my school have custom vehicles, and love my truck. There has only been four previous owners I know of. I have even found the original owner. Many people have offered me cash for my truck, but I am not selling. Sadly the transmission recently went bad and the second owner put a dent in the front passenger side. The repairs will cost $2000.00; $1200 for body damage, $800 for a new transmission. But I don’t have that kind of money. I will drive this daily, and used to with just the dent. I would get a lot of attention, even with the dent, driving it. I was going to put it in local car shows, there are quite a few, when I fixed the dent, but then the transmission gave up. I will also post in different forums about my sponsor. I love vehicles and think my truck needs better taken care of. I can’t stand her sitting in front of my house and I want to show her off. I’ve also wanted to start drag racing, but know I need to work on my truck so I don’t get creamed.

I do attend local shows but have not entered my car yet. Can someone help me with these goals?

    1. Get a good paying job. Buy a better car… Honda’s are junk EX isn’t really a sporty car. Maybe the SI but still a Honda. 1st or 2nd gen DSM’s would be a good start. Move up to Evo’s and STI’s once you have good cash flow. Maybe go with a 3000GT VR4. Just get away from the Honda’s

  67. Come on kids get a decent paying job and just buy a decent worthy car and stop asking for free sponsors on a shitty Honda or maxima or your V6 firebird come on dude really? It doesn’t take long to build a fast car if you try. Shit I went from a terribly slow sunfire to a full bolt on tuned and much more screaming bald eagle loud 01 mustang gt. I didn’t ask for sponsors or begged for free parts. What I did was found a decent paying job and bought everything on my car and install it myself and still do to this day. I mean for fucks says the dude said it himself for you to find a sponsor you’re ur gonna need more than a car that’s just stock. If you want something work for it and stop expecting to get shit for free.

    1. I like everything that you responded here. I have been restoring my 1990 Nissan 300zx and building it to be a street/track car that I can also cruise around in and take to car shows. I live in Southern Alabama and I am a disabled veteran and that also means that I have nothing else to do because I can not work anymore but what I can do is go do the things that I love and that is everything that has to do with car shows, racing, drag racing or whatever it is that has automobile in it. I am spending 50% of my disability on building my baby up and do not know how to approach a sponsor and would appreciate any help, and I am willing to promote their products, pass out flyers, and work shows and events that I can attend if someone is willing to help me out because I believe that they will get 4 to 5 times back for sponsoring me.

  69. Have been through it ..I have been in marketing an promoting my hole life so I know the ins and outs good an bad..I have had 35 mustangs an iam building a 2000 gt an a 90 gt an a truck to tow them to events. Live in NC sc area hit me up would like to start a group thing/team an could help you out. Get companies on board.

  114. hi i have a 1960s fiat spider and it’s going to be expensive and i need my car sponsered please help me

  115. Reached out to Corbeau but got denied. Car is a 2016 mustang gt. Finally got some money saved up and starting to build it. When is I contacted Corbeau I had just made my build page, instagram.com/stangkidd1966, and didnt have that big of a following. Working in growing this everyday, posting what in doing to the car as I go. Can you guys give me any recommendations of who is easy to get a sponsorship with? Thanks in advance.

  116. HELP I’ve got a 1978 Chevy C10. I have built the engine and transmission it dynos in at 412 hp 652 ft-lbs. Really just want to get sponsors to rep on my build as I become youtube famous.

  117. In all honesty, getting a sponsorship takes work, commitment, and let’s be real, a car worthy of representing the company’s image. Flat out asking for a sponsorship with minimal mods is not going to cut it. Bragging about horsepower this, rims that, and if given free stuff could have one of the most talked about rides on YouTube? Hate to break it to y’all, but to any manufacture, all this sounds like is a wasted space for a sponsorship opportunity. Instead, make a name for your car, yes, it takes money to to build a sponsor worthy ride, but for the real enthusiasts, the ones that can wrench their own project builds can save money, therefore, have more to spend on upgraded parts. I have been sponsored by many companies, but let me tell you, it came with a lot of hard work. I’ve won numerous car shows prior to even asking for sponsorships. I built a reputable profile for my rides, invested tons hours, cash, blood, sweat, and tears. Nowadays, I would recommend dealing with companies you are familiar with or would like to do business with and begin a simple customer relationship. Being a repeat customer speaks volumes to a business, and to be honest, if done right, can lead to a prosperous relationship down the road. I’ve called companies flat out and gotten to have known the entire staff just by the sound of their voices. Building relationships and commitments with a company will definitely not go unnoticed, especially if you are truly committed to your end goal(s), which, obviously, if you have read this far down, is trying to get a sponsorship. I mean, the list is long, but just think about it this way…for both parties, it’s a game of risk, however, one must take the most risk. Having said that, these large manufacturers did not get to where they are by taking major risks, so you must assume the larger of the two. What risks are you willing to take when you say, “Sponsor me so I can have a nice car!” You have to first prove your worth!
