Direct Tuning knows that the best way to get its name out there is from vehicle exposure. Having a great looking car with 'Direct Tuning' on the window, hood, bumper, fender, or door is our goal. We want to do our best for our customers who represent us effectively and in a positive way. We know that your time is valuable. We do not want you to spend hours or days on a Sponsorship Proposal. We are going to make this as easy and painless as possible. Our Sponsorship Guideline is as follows:
Your vehicle must be featured as a vehicle editorial and picture(s) of your vehicle with 'Direct Tuning' Decal clearly visible on your vehicle must appear in one of the following Magazines:
Auto Sound & Security

An authorized 'Direct Tuning' Decal must used.
A simple Sponsorship Release Form must be completed and signed. This will authorize Direct Tuning to use your name and photos of your vehicle for marketing and advertising campaigns.
Direct Tuning will pay vehicle owner an amount each time his/her vehicle appears in a magazine editorial. The Sponsorship Amounts for Vehicle Image(s) are broken down as follows*:
