Default Sponsorship

ok so when i got my 350z 4 months ago i applied for sponsorship at a bunch of diffrent places, and wouldn't you know i got a phone call 2 days ago from sport compact pro say that the will accept me for partial sponsorship.
they would pay for 55% parts and labor up to 12k and pay for all entry fees and i would have to goto 4 shows and pay $80 for the lawyer fees and contract. just wondering if anyone has heard anything about this place and if anyone has gone through them?

Its a fraud. I saw another person with the same exact story on here and that was a fraud. 99% sure Sport Compact Pro doesn't sponsor at all/isn't real.

How does one go about finding legit sponsorship for their car?

Lol Scammmmm.. Sponsorships are done by the manufacturer or the shops. If it's not a shop or a manufacturer, probably not legit.

How do they fraud you, take your $80 and run? $80 is not worth the risk for them, i would imagine.

whats bad about it is that you have to buy from there price list which you can get cheaper pricing on ebay but if there going to pay 55% of the parts it's still cheaper either way. you have to look at it its not a full sponsorship its partial that mean you get no parts they just help you buy them.

You See, Its not worth it for you actually.

Would you sue of $80.00?? I Don't think so. And even if you somehow
managed to get a police department interested in your $80 loss, it would only be a misdemenor....
