sponsorship

i juss gotta call today by sports compact. it was some woman. they had all my info like addy, name, type of car, color of car, and so on. they said the usual stuff like paying for 10-15% of parts and labor n stuff like that. but what i want to know is that the number they called me from doesnt match it from the sports compact website. they called me from a 302 area code and the area code on the website is 714. i live in 703. i juss want to know if it could be juss a hoax or nething like that.

302 area code is in Delaware

714 is California: North and Central Orange County

I get the girls name and then call sports compact as see if she is an employee.

I'm feeling like it is

usually you'll have to put a sh*tload of money into you car to show you're dedicated before anyone even thinks about sponsoring you...got a pic and mods of your car?

I know someone that said she personally just got a contract with Sport Compact Pro. She got it through some of her friends. They supposedly ordered some stuff and are waiting for it to come in. She's also still waiting for her contract. She was telling me that they're gonna cover 65% of the cost of parts, while she'd only have to pay 35%.

I still think it's bulljive. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

I signed up for an online sponsorship a while back, they finally called me like five months ago saying I was selected. I didn't take it though.

Sports compact pro is not a hoax, Im sponsored by them and I've taking the advantage of using the contacts list. I've only used the options auto salon and vis. Although you dont get 50% on all things, you do get some discounts.

I have the contract and waiting for the info. If you get the contract they want a 79 fee for processing it. They give you discounts and cash as long as u obey the guidelines.

anything you have to pay them money for first is not a sponsorship. you dont apply for a sponsorship. those are just shops that offer discount prices but in fact everyone who applies gets therir "sponsership". A real sponser will come to you. You have to have TONS of money invested in your car before a company will think about you for a sponsership. a sposership is a company giving you their products because your ride is badass in the first place and they see that with their products on your car, it will be a good advertisement for their company. I have been in the show seen for a while and talked to a few major companys about what all you need for a sponsorship and they all said the same thing. your car has to almost be untouchable BEFORE they sponsor you. In my opinion i would pay anyone 80 bucks just for some "discounts" because if you look around you can find places that are selling the same products for the "discount" price of your fake "sponser", except you dont have to pay the other places 80 bucks. so save yourself 80 bucks and just look around before you purchase somthing.

i got called today, the 79 fee worries me, seeing as it is up front, but if i could get a huge discount I would blow a sh#t load on this car. Like any 7th gen owner, i want my car to compete. If the 50% discount they promise is real, you'll see a lot more action from dinglenuts.

sports compact pro is from delaware, i live there, they bought out racer X (which lives in my neighborhood) or the are the same people and are running the same thing he did pretty much... They called me too before... They say they give u wholesale prices.. but they base their prices off the retail price u would get from a store... you can find the same prices online that they offer you! i think they just call people when they need money

for all those guys out there that are already sponsered what are you obligated to do? do you have to do anything or do they just sign 15k contracts for free?
