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.
Has anyone here had an experience with them.?

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

Use the rule of thumb deal, "If ever you're first asked for money, It's a scam"

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.
