has anyone heard of carsponsorships.com? i applied and they gave me a sponsorship is it for real or are they trying to trick me into giving them money?

You will never pay for a real sponsorship.
They will just give you a sponsorship for decalkits.com (or something like that). And they jack up their prices and sell stuff to you for a price you could easily find for cheaper online. It's a rip off. The only way to really get sponsored is to have stuff done to your car already and contact real companies. There are a ton of threads about this on this site and all over the internet.

You just gave false information my man. I'm sponsored by these guys and they're great.

1st in the contract they give you they tell you that if you find ANYTHING cheaper any where else that they will fix it. I've never had a problem with them cooperating with me. One time I actually did find someone who had a cheaper price but it was only my like
$20 and I told Carsponsorships.com about it and they fixed it.

They do have a partnership with Decalkits.com, BUT the decals are free (if!) you recieve the full sponsorship. The $89 goes to Carsponsorships.com for FINDING companies that will sponsor you and PLUS its a one time only fee. There are two different kinds of sponsorships, full and quasi, full is free and quasi is a major discount. You never deal with jacked up prices, EVER.

and here's a link for Carsponsorships.com http://www.carsponsorships.com/scout...or.php?id=2358

They worked for me and other people I know and if you've got any questions about them my name is Lionel Pitts and my email address is [email protected]

peace,

Ok...still, it's not a full sponsorship. I guarentee you can find any of the products from them, cheaper or the same price online elsewhere; if you know where to look. Plus most of the stuff they give you a sponsorship for is junk no name crap. If I wanted junk parts and decals, I'd shop at Pep Boys (and they won't charge me $89 for just shopping there).

Yes IT IS a full sponsorship if that is the one they award you. I DO have a full sponsorship with decalkits.com. I don't pay them a dime. And the decals are not junk. They are pretty thick for decals and they have awesome designs.

$89 is a small price to pay for an agency to find a company to award you with $500 of free decals. The $89 goes to carsponsorships. ONE TIME FEE!

Now you have $500 worth of decals that look great and they don't cost you a dime. Where can you get those cheaper? Huh?

I have a quasi-sponsorship from Blaupunkt and they give me some major discounts. You said that if you know where to look you can find anything cheaper. I'M THE KING OF FINDING STUFF CHEAPER! I'm a college student. I looked for and found the cheapest price for everything I put on my car without sacrificing quality or what I wanted. I got exactly what I wanted at the cheapest places to get it from and I got it all new.

Buying these things any cheaper would mean that you're probably getting it used.

Look man you can be scared and not have an open mind about things like most people do or you can be a risk taker like me.

I'm trying to tell you about them with my first hand experiences and if you don't want to listen, thats cool too.

Think their companies sell junk if you want to. I don't put junk on my Camaro.

They do a screening process to ya know, and that makes sure the owners of these vehicles have the right attitude. Even if you want to be sponsored the person would have to have great ideas, a car(nothing specials), goals, trustworthiness, and the right attitude.

Also if you ever have a problem with ANYTHING they break their back to make sure their "Sponsored" are taken care of. I KNOW!

I see what you're saying. I guess it's just that I'm more into spending $ on functional or performance products instead of visual mods. Not into big stereo systems, decals on my car, extra or lighting.


And no I wasn't talking about finding used parts for cheaper, I'm talking new products. If I really want something, I'll spend an entire day until I find the cheapest price (from a reliable place of course). I'm not even talking about using E-bay either. And any time I've ever read or heard about carsponsorship, I've only read about maybe 2 people getting turned down. They do infact take just about anyone.

So I guess it could be ok for some people, just only if you're into making a show car/show car like vehicle.

all show, no go.....that's not good!

Me want fast! Decals do not add hp...

In your situation with a civic I believe you'd be in a better position with performance parts and wheels than me.

They deal with performance companies that mainly make import vehicle performance products. The same goes for wheels. I don't use their products for performance and I won't be using their wheels.

I'm just using it for what it's worth. I've got awesome neons, awesome decals, and I will be getting awesome audio equipment soon. They also have connections to suspension companies that I may connect with later. Also they have Dunlop tire Sponsorships, but I need to get rims first

Decals (if done right) help win car shows though.

I'm not slow right now either way. My first major performance mod will be a nice dangerous turbo(not the usual turbo).

[CivicSpoon]

No, I wouldn't want any performance products or wheels from them. I'm not into big wheels, that's why I have 15" Rotas that weigh very little compared to most aftermarket rims. And I'm only interested in parts that are from well known and proven companies. And personally if I wanted my car to have some crazy design on the outside, I'd have it painted. To each their own.

This is where you keep going wrong man. You keep stereotyping them. They've got wheels for your car, they aren't selling 80lbs 22's to put on your civic. Just like I said before, they are for IMPORTS.

I just remembered, the company is wheelsnext.com. Those wheels would look a lot better on your car than mine. The companies that they deal with are big as they get! They freakin deal with companies that make turbos for you car man! They deal with companies that make lightweight flywheels and all that. Right now for you... they have dunlop for tires, b+g suspension, Some flywheel company(I don't remember the name because I have an automatic), wheelsnext for wheels for you. The have the hook up with verticaldoors.com too!(they make the real lambo kits that are virgin steel and I KNOW you can't get these cheaper anywhere else.)

You said you spend a day looking for stuff you want at cheaper prices, when I don't have the $$$ I spend from 6months to a year until I've got a load saved up then I just go spending. That's why I did most of my work this year.

[CivicSpoon]

If you look on that wheelsnext site, they only sell 17" or bigger. 17" are too big for performance. For a turbo kit, I'd rather build my own and really save $, as well as get all the parts (and correct turbo size) that I want. Other than that (with the exception of Dunlop tires), the rest doesn't appeal to me. I'm not stereotyping them at all, I'm just calling it like I see it. The company is for show cars with minor performance modifications. That's what some people like to go for, but not me. I'd rather have a clean looking car with the majority of my $ put into performance.

How fast is your civic?

17's are not too big for performance as long as they're not heavy. I'm going to put aluminum 19's on mine. For the turbo kit, if you can build it thats real cool, but I bet mine will be better I'm going to have mine built for my car too. It will cost me but it'll be worth it. And the sponsorship company is not just for people with minor modifications. The company is for people who show and race who have the personality to promote products. I always wanted neons. Not really bad, but I still wanted them. I got a major discount on them and have lots of fun with them. Hopefully by next year they'll pick me up for a full sponsorship.

You've got to start some where man, I had a pretty good start before I joined. I had the body kit, hood, tint, power antenna added, exhaust work and a lot of other stuff before I joined. The extra power I want will come later too. The engine I have isn't too bad like it is until I get that turbo $$$.

I say since you want to be fast you might as well look good until you get there.

OK well you and your dangerous turbo have fun.....and stay out of trouble...

You can have your decals because if that's the difference in winning shows or not, i'd rather lose. My car stays decal free w/ the exception of the DOHC VTEC emblems on the sides...

Shows are boring anyway.....drag strips and auto x is where the fun is!

Drag strips are boring to me unless you're racing.

Shows are fun and interesting because you put hard work and time into something and over time watch it earn the respect of crowds and earn cash while doing it.

and before I forget...
DOHC VTEC CHEVY POWER BABY!
