When I was sponsored there was a contract that was signed saying I would go to shows and db drag within so many miles from my house. It depends on your sponsor ship and what they are wanting you to do. I also had to put the sponsors sticker on my back glass, you mentioned that stuff gets stolen where your at.
What are the restrictions of the sponsorship?

It is for a short time. But it gets old quick with the Ricer "Steal Me Now" Stickers on your car. Getting a Good Price is just the Companies way of enticing a Person to provide cheap advertisement.
Remember. This is not a free ride. Damn near all companies will expect a greater return than their investment. So you end up a pawn for some cheaper equipment. Not worth it in my eye's and a few others here on this site.
I'm 28 and do pretty well for myself so this is a crapy option for me. I Did enjoy the experience of Sposorship for about a month, and felt special. I don't mean to totally discourage this. It can sometimes lead to better things.

Do not install anything in the b pillars, or rear,
install 1 sub in the pocket in the rear, or install 2 subs in the rear trunk area, regardless any sub you install in the rear will be twice as loud, becuase it will be loaded off the rear glass.
Its kind of wierd that you would get sponsored from Blaupunkt and not use one of their radios. Anyway, Installing speakers in the rear will pull the image to the rear of the vehicle becuase the front speakers are low in the door.

Did you ever find out what the exact requirements/restrictions are?
If you look at the other show cars youll see they are typically for show

Really, since this will be a show car, its best that you talk to your installer and find out what the requirements are, and exactly how much hes capable of.
