Hey, 21....

First off, its your car, whatever you decide is going to be all you.

Now, what I would do is think about it throughly, ie not just wanting free parts, or they are going to rice out my car, but throughly.

In the sense of business wise(money), future plans for your car, relationships garned, exporsure, possible full endorsment, making a name for yourself, etc....

Remember, its all about money in the end. Personally, I think your thinking small, with you would be able to see the free parts they give you. Thats chump change when this could be a BIGGER oppourtunity....

Personally, I would approach other companys, more respected companys, and say you might consider a sponsorship, APC made me an offer, and before I lay down and be their bitch I am looking at other possibilities. Or.....

Go with APC, get some exporsure, make a huge impact and make EVERYBODY take notice, if a sucess at H.I.N then now your a playa in the game. Now you have even more options.

I personally wouldn't let an oppourtunity like this just go by....

Remember, they want you, so already from the start you have the leverage, do not let them rape you. They want your car, you know companies are interested in your car, you do not need them.

Ray

My Advice: find out the exact terms before you decide anything. find out if you get to keep the stuff and do anything you want with it after the show, or if you have to give it back, or if you have to do one or the other, either keep it on your car or give it back, but you cant take it off and sell it. i definitely wouldnt sign anything for it with APC, if you have to sign something, pass it up and hope another better company will want to sponser your ride

I wouldnt do it, I was offered a sponsorship from a local company and they seemed to think that if I took it they would become a part owner of my car. 17

I think it would be cool to see what kind of things you could get out of them. Afterwards if you don't like the stuff, just put back the things you had before and keep the things you liked from them. They don't need to know what you do afterwards with your own car. Besides you can probably sell the stuff you got from them if you don't like it. You need to see on PAPER what they're offering then you can make decisions. It might not be a good deal or it could be awesome, just make sure to get it in writing. That way worst comes to worst you could show it in court (hopefully not necessary). Best of luck
