Default Can I be a small time sponsor?

I've got some items I'd like to sell: (at not much profit to be competitive)

coil relocation kits w/ polished brackets
!wire kits
clear air bellows
polished parts
polishing supplies
exhaust tips

I want to support this site but I don't think I'll have much traffic. I just want to break even and help some of the guys get cool parts for cheap.I don't really want to set up a big attractive (expensive) website. I'd just like to have a small simple link in my sig. Is there any sort of discounted sponsor package I can get set up with?

Thanks- Joshua

Good luck, "They" are pretty firm on their pricing structure...

Generally if you cannot recoup the $175 it costs to sponsor the site, then maybe you should reconsider sponsoring. 175 is pretty easy to recoup, especially considering that you'll make more money polishing in most cases than people do porting throttle bodies if you're good at it.


Hit up Nine Ball or PSJ, they are the only ones that can give you the answer you are looking for.

Yeah the polishing is extremely time consuming. I have a full time job, I was going to offer the service and farm out the work to a local shop. Real shops cost a lot to begin with. Most people won't want to pay $120 exchange on valve covers no matter how perfect they are. I don't think there will be many customers, I just want them to have the option.

I'm not doing this to make big money, hell I'd be lucky to clear $300 profit not including the sponsor fee and all the running around after work I'd be doing.

I just wanted to help guys get low priced cool parts.. Oh well.
