How much do you get paid to put decals on your sports car?

I've seen some nice sports cars owned mostly by younger guys and they have tire company logos and such all over. I guess they get paid to advertise? How much do you get and how do you go about doing this? I guess thats how these kids afford these fancy cars.


Answer
First, most companies don't give you money just for putting a sticker on their car. Those kids you see are called ricers. They put these stickers all over their car to represent the products they installed (sometimes just to put a sticker on, even though nothing on the car was made by that company), giving free advertising to the manufacturer. Only an idiot does that in my book. Now, there are things called sponsorships, which pay people to put their logo on their car. To get a sponsorship takes some work though. Nobody just gives it free because they want to, you have to have something to offer. Show cars, race cars are about the only reason people would get paid to put a logo on their car. And even then, the payments are rarely in money. Usually, payments from sponsors are in the form of product. So if you are a racer and you get a sponsor from, say, Toyo tires, they might give you a free set of tires, or a deep discount even.
Also, in the NHRA, there is what is called a contingency sponsorship. This is a little different. This is a case where, if you win a national NHRA event, or place in the top 3/5/etc., and you have the companies' sticker on your car, you can get the track official to take a picture of the car, sign an affidavit that they saw the sticker and products on your car when you won the race, and you can submit it to the company, IE MSD, AutoMeter, etc. Then the company will send you a check. In other words, anyone who wins a national NHRA race and has required products on their car, can get a sponsorship simply by winning. For example, AutoMeter you have to have at least 3 of their gauges installed in your car AND have their logo displayed on the outside of your car, usually both sides, in order to qualify for the contingency prize. The upside, though, is the contingency prize is something like $350 in some cases. I know a person who has gotten over $10,000 in contingency sponsorship money by winning 1 race event because of all the products he had on his car.
