Build-content exposure

The repair, decal install, sponsor reveal and campaign progress are planned as video content.

◷

Defined 6-month term

Every sponsor starts and ends together so the campaign has a clean launch and finish.

Sponsor inventory

Choose your spot.

Four panels — with each door available whole or split at the body crease — total exactly $4,000, the clutch install target. Taking a door in halves raises a little more. Printing/install costs can be offset through an in-kind graphics partner.

Campaign timeline

Everyone launches together.

The fundraising window is separate from the advertising term. Sponsors reserve their spot first; the six-month clock begins only after the decals are professionally installed.

1

Open sponsorships

30–45 day sales window or until inventory sells out.

2

Close campaign

Confirm sponsors, artwork and final placement details.

3

Fix the STI

Complete the approximately $4,000 clutch replacement.

4

Print + install

Professional vehicle-wrap shop inspects paint and installs removable graphics.

5

6-month launch

All sponsor terms begin on the same official decal-installation date.

6

Removal + recap

Professional removal, final photos and campaign recap after six months.

Campaign guaranteeEach paid sponsor receives the full six-month placement term from the official launch date, regardless of when their sponsorship was purchased during the sales window.
Content + accountability

Document the whole process.

The sponsorship is more useful when brands can follow the project from fundraising through professional decal removal.

FAQ

Campaign details.

Why only the passenger side?

The goal is to preserve the STI's appearance. One side becomes the sponsor side while the other stays clean.

When does the six-month term start?

For every sponsor, it begins on the same official decal installation / campaign launch date — not the purchase date.

Where is the car based?

Fairfax County, Virginia, with general driving and visibility around Northern Virginia. The site intentionally does not publish an exact home, work, or parking location.

How are the decals installed?

A professional vehicle-wrap installer will be used. The plan is removable automotive graphics film, a paint-condition inspection before install, and professional removal at campaign end.

Are miles or views guaranteed?

No minimum mileage or social view count is promised by default. The odometer can be documented at launch and campaign end, and any additional guarantee would be agreed separately.

What happens if all five spots do not sell?

The sponsorship sales window is time-boxed. Before accepting payment, the final sponsor terms should state whether the campaign launches with the sold inventory, receives one extension, or refunds reservations.
