So after much debate back and forth, of BT or body work, today me, a couple of my friends and Adam (remembertofocus) went to the body shop today, we got an estimate for Adam and he left his car there, I talked to him about my widebody plans, and he told me that he would sponsor me, I would only have to pay for materials, damn I'm so happy now, I've been thinking of going straight DTM style, somwhere in the lines of Don Mak's car with a lot of my own flare and borrowing from DTM cars. If you guys have any good, productive, or positive ideas let me know what you think. O yea I'm also looking for a sponsor on wheels if you guys know of anyone.
P.S. Adams new look is tight its gonna be even sicker when he gets it back next wknd.

VENTS ON FENDERS. No one with a widebody, nor DTM widebody has done this.
I'm not takling about M3 gills, i'm talking about actual vents/slits on the fenderwell.

Congrats John... Only thing I can say is dont go over board and try to stay close to the actual DTM car itself. Its a PIA but if the ducts, louvers, etc... were functional that would make it 100 x's better.

02-03-2007, 04:33 PM
hahaha yea i was just going to refer to that car and when i scrolled down i saw the picture, hey Mo u are absolutely right about being functional, and no im not keeping the reps, there only 17's, but i will be using them with spacers just to get the right width and until i get a sponsor for wheels, or find the right set whatever comes first.

Yo John... maybe try ROTA wheels. They sponser a few of my buddies that race in Honda Challenge. I think Noel and Benny and their buddies are also sponsored by Rota but not sure.

yea the roof is supposed to be removed and replaced with a 1/4'' dry carbon replacement, that's what my buddy said he wanted to do, I'm happy with whatever happens, I just like the look. So back to the topic, ideas anyone?

hey john, does ur buddy who sponsored u with the bodyshop wanna sponsor a potential widebody E46M3 if i go big turbo. HPfreaks has a kit that puts down 700Hp for my car for about 18k parts only..... ill need widebody and probably 19x11s with 315s to have any chance to hook traction though...

yeah john the replacement someone was tryin to get for the b4s4's to save weight or something, but i agree: its the look that is $$$.. cant wait to see it man.. and yeah if he wants a B7 to sponsor.. im the guy for it [:D]

02-03-2007, 07:33 PM
next time ur at the bodyshop, ask the owner if he would be interested in sponsoring a widebody E46M3. as soon as i can acquire a second car again, i will definitely entertain the idea of going big turbo.... being the pioneer of sorts, for the E46M3 turbo..

I got a partial sponsor from ZE Forged today, anyone heard of them? I'm not sure how much I'm going to get them for yet, I talked to a guy named Zak he told me to pick out what wheel I want and he would get me my sponsor price. Heres the link http://www.bozeforged.com/wheels.html
What do you guys think I should do? I'm thinking if the price is good I'll do it, but if not maybe I'll keep looking. I like the mesh, I would probably get those.

hahah adam I should but, i wont tell you how it loox, its a surprise hahaha, You think those mesh's are sick? what would you pick between the dyno, the mesh and the V-12. Fast4 I'm getting the sponsors from friends and just talking to people, the more people you know the better, if you have friends that have been in the industry for a while than thats the golden ticket.

nope tire sponsors r a little harder to come by, theres only so many companies out there
MYBMW05
02-10-2007, 11:08 AM
thats not even the half of it. most companies are already sponsoring multiple people, so when they look at you, they need to know you have an idea for something that is revolutionary, that hasnt been done yet... or thats better...

or show them your taking the car somewhere...
your car cant be near stock for a legit sponsership...you need to be showing, and getting coverage...
