Sponsor :S

Well is sent an aplication to this company called carsponsorships.com, they replied and said they would like to get sponsors for my car but i had to pay a 99$ dollar inscripcion.

Well when their first started the website about 3 years ago.. I fillled it out and this is when u didnt have to pay anything..

Then they called me and told me that they would give me a 10k a year sponsorship on performances mods and i have to go to car shows and what not with their stickers on my car.. at the time i was in college so couldnt do it.. BUT they wanted me to put 499$ down then to get started...

i said **** that

i have a few sponsors. its not that hard to get partail sponsors just send your proposal and you can get some good deals but you have to go to shows or track your car you know the things we love to do with our cars all ready. carsponsorships.com is a scam the things they can get you. you can do your self its not hard. it just takes some time. good luck with your car

It works like you send them 99$ for a bunch of broschures and stickers. and when someone else signs up with them you get a point. collect enough points and you get a part. ect ect

i dont think youll get sponsored for just driving around town. Im pretty sure you need to have a lot of track days and car shows to do.
