sponsership....??

i was on myspace the other day and there was a banner about pimp your ride, so i clicked on it and filled out their lilttle app to see if i was accepted. i only did this for the hell of it, didnt really care if i was accepted or not cuz i dont know much about sponserships. well i was acctepted and got all schoolboyish. haha

should i accept this **** or what???

seems legit, got ok brands if sponsered, and i would love to mod my car whether its engine or interior or external cuz i cant afford much at the time. i might be able to talk the woman into it but not really sure. i thought i would ask the greatest peeps i know first. what u think?? oh i forgot its from carsponserships.com also. now what u think??

Yeah, definite scam. Like drew said, sponsors know what cars to pick up and look out for. A sponsor would no doubt contact YOU with offers.

it's actually not a scam. Not if it's carsponsorships.com. I got sponsored through them and they've really cleaned up they're program. I got great deals on all types of stuff for my car, just not performance parts...so if your looking for them you might not want to sign up. I've already saved enough money on parts for my car where it payed the 80$ back

yeah i filled it out but stoped after credit card just to see. then get a call a month later, im told 12k sponsorship for 1st year, but discount not free, wtf, then i ask what do u offer for my car for turbo wise, just as a test, they tell me hks, gredds, turbonetics, im like they dont make a kit. this lady tries to convince me so im like i dont buy it. how about dezod's kit or tsi. she puts me on hold to talk to parts manager and says he never heard of them for 01-05 civic. wtf. i told her hell no you really know **** lady and hung up. she said they wont show me a contract or anything until i give them 80 bux, 75 of which is tax deductable. what a scam, thank god i never gave my card or anything to them. SCAM.

and there references for parts are companies i never heard of, and they said they have local shops nearme i said tell me and she said well we can work a deal, like a shop will say "yes ill loose money!"

i filled out the app for carsponsorships.com at NOPI when i was there last year and the guy from the booth actually called me the following tuesday. sounded ok so like tuner(^^) i got to asking questions about parts and discounts and such. same thing, send us 80 bux and we'll talk, blah blah blah...not falling for it man.

any sane person knows you're not gonna pay money unless you're gonna save a crapload of money...didn't see that in the future, so i blew em off.

its a damn scam, no matter what anyone says, you pay them to sponsor u? WRONG, thats not sponsorship, and like they give 12k to someone with an almost stock car, plz. These people need to be shut down.
