Sponsorship Policy
Bowler Performance Transmissions recognizes the importance of providing product for high profile vehicles that will help the company gain visibility and exposure in magazine feature articles and television shows. We receive such a large volume of requests that the company has instituted a policy of requiring a formal, written proposal along with color renderings and/or photos of the proposed project so our review committee can give each request the proper attention and consideration it deserves. Phone call inquiries cannot and will not be accepted. Proposals must include a detailed description of the project, information on who owns the vehicle, list of events/shows/exhibits where the vehicle will appear, other media exposure that will be generated, along with examples of past editorial coverage that the company/individual has achieved so we can be assured of the company/individual's ability to obtain publicity. Bowler Performance Transmissions requires all persons or companies requesting products to agree to, and follow, the guidelines listed below:
- Products received for the sponsored vehicle must be kept in top condition and no other transmission company's products or identification may appear on said vehicle.
- All products supplied for the sponsored vehicle must be used solely for said vehicle and are not to be re-sold, transferred, held in storage or otherwise modified.
- Sponsorship includes product only. Other costs such as labor and sundries are the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
- Products must be on sponsored vehicle for no less than twelve months. Bowler Performance Transmissions logo placement must be maintained on the vehicle for this same period.

We require written follow-up summary reports that include photos of the vehicle at events, tear sheets of magazine feature stories, copies of ads/brochures/other promotional literature where the vehicle is featured, along with any other proof that demonstrates all elements of the sponsorship proposal have been fulfilled. Along with these physical submissions we request you create a vehicle profile on Car Buff Network www.carbuffnetwork.com this will allow us and our fellow enthusiasts to easily follow along with your build and generate more interest not only in our products, but also your abilities, and with any of the other company’s products you’re using. All proposals, photographs and information submitted shall become property of Bowler Performance Transmissions unless otherwise arranged. Bowler Performance Transmissions also requires that the owner of each sponsored vehicle complete a feedback form. Any of this information can be used for advertisements, press releases, and promotions by Bowler Performance Transmissions. Reimbursement program: The sponsorship program is available to anyone who is interested in installing one of our complete transmission systems only. This can be a custom automatic or manual Tremec 5 or 6 speed conversion kit. Once we have reviewed and accepted your submission, we will offer you the requested products at our deepest dealer pricing along with the opportunity to receive up to $1,000.00 in contingency reimbursements. This will be presented to you in the form of an official estimate including the normal retail price along with our initial discount offered.
