So about 4 months ago when I got the Z, I had stumbled on to carsopnsors.com submitted an application and got a reply that they would be interested in sponsoring my car. I thought to myself, wow this is
.

So i read up on them and the reviews seemed like 50/50, some said good and some said bad.
I had some extra money so I decided to take the plunge (it was only like $100 if I'm not mistaken). So right when i joined supposedly i had like 18 sponsors ready to sponsor me witch didn't seem right to me, I mean i had just joined how are they going to know if I'm going to show of their products. So it turned out to be just that .

Out of those 18 sponsors 4 of them truly wanted to give me a sponsorship but the requirements were kind of weird i.e. Attend & enter 4 auto shows, pass out flyer's, take pics rinse & repeat. I like doing that kind of stuff so it doesn't sound too bad. After you send them all of these pictures and stuff they send you your part I was like the only thing you pay is shipping and handling.

So I don't have a lot of mods on my car. It has rims a drop and a spoiler...But if you don't have a lot of money and you want to upgrade your looks or your motor I definitely recommend checking it out.

not bad if you have 100 to drop, if you are truely interested in showing the car all season try hitting the companies directly.

 

So here's a question... Have you actually received parts from these people? Is so, what parts?? I have a stock Nismo looking for a free Greddy turbo kit

 

Yeah I thought about doing that but how do you go about it?

 

Sounds interesting, gotta any pics of your car??

 

Ya i guess your right but everyone has to start off somewere. Ill see when i get the Intake.

 

Ya Pinoy click on the link I put up to my profile

 

No haven't received any but i havent rly been active. I just got in to it during this last month and I've received the Fujitsa sponsorship ill keep u posted when i get the intake im also going to take them up on the Killer Glass Sponsorship

 

yea i did the same thing i just got a sponsorship for TEAMSCP its about the same wut u saying like if u want something thats like 400 they pay half of the cost so its koo/....

 

thats **** is a ****ing scam...believe me i did it with my old b18. i ordered a vis racing carbon fiber evo 8 hood through them, what did they send me? a seibon evo 8 carbon fiber hood, i called and i asked, their response "well seibon is a better carbon fiber" which it is. i said, " its not what ordered and i really liked the side air scoops, the seibon doesn't have that" they said. "well you can send it back but you wont get another hood for 2 months. i said *** you, canceled my sponsorship and kept the hood. they gave me 20% off the hood, or so they said. i think i paid 700, sounds like full retail to me.

 

100 dollars to sign up. When will people see it's a scam. They are probably rich as hell with local ricer cars telling everybody they are sponsored by companies and have a roll call on the side of their car. Have you guys even seen these brands that "so called" sponsors you?

Here is quick run down why i think it's a huge scam.

1. You pay them 100 dollars.

2. They give you a list of brands that you can buy for half the price. Even though these prices are MSRP prices. After your 1/2 off discount, these products can be found online brand new for the same price or even less.

3. You advertise them at shows or what not. You slap stickers all over your car with their company name.



So basically, they are making so much money off of you, it's not even funny. Never once have you made profit off of that 100 dollars you gave to them at first. It's a great, thought out plan. Huge scam that i know people will get suckered into.

1. You pay them 100 dollars.
[QUOTE]
i never paid them their 100$. lmao.

 

+1

i figured everyone would know about this 'carsponsorships.com' by now...sheesh

little fyi, everyone gets accepted

 

Ya when I get the intake ill know if it was worth signing up...I didnt have to pay anything for the intake.

 

i takled to them about doing this a like 2 years ago..when she said i'd have to pay them 100 bucks " to process your forms" i was like.. no thanks.

 

My opinoion (coming from the show world) dont do it. I run into ppl who do this all the time. you have to attend like X amount of showes, basically working, not wimpy showes ither FYI, then they will send you a part, u will need to then advertize that part. the companies sposoring your car, lets just say are not top of the line, the body kits and **** are pieces of crap I have seen them in person. all they do is use u to advertise for like 2 months and they give you like $100-200 worth of **** but u continue to advertise. its strickly for rice, but then that is my opinion.

 

My friend did it best, he just photoshopped his car into pics and sent them in, lol...never went to a single show...
