Be careful. I got something like that but shortly realized that I was only sponsored for decals and some vinyl shit... worthless. Just don't pay any money up front... That's how you know it's a scam.

Yes there are a few people here that are and they said you pay the amount they dont pay. One guy got a fiber hood for like 100 they paid the rest

Re: sport compact pro?

sport compact pro is a 100% scam. They make you pay them $80 for what amounts to being a member of costco for cars, except that the prices aren't any better than ones you could find on the internet if you looked hard enough. You also have to carry their stickers around letting any knowledgeable enthusiast know what a sucker you are.

Re: sport compact pro?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOO *catches breathe* Dont do it. Prices suck, they are like 30-50 bucks less than retail. DO NOT DO IT!

EDIT: Also, its not like you find the item, they pay 55% of the cost. You can only buy the items from their stores and vendors, meaning, they find the item and its actual cost, meaning they are ripping you the FUCK off.

no, I never paid them, I've just done a lot of research, I should call and harass them sometime though.

Re: sport compact pro?

hey all..just reged to post for this... but ill eb coming back here.

i also got a call from SCP and carsponsorships.com. they were very excited telling me i was sponsored for this an that. im a endorsed musician so i knwo a bit abotu being sponsored. again i said theyu were very helpful and excited in trying to find me stuff i coudl qualify for until....

i told them what kinda car i have. 1975 280Z 5 speed, slightly modified.

they said, well, we have stereo and decal and lightig kits.. i said i dont need/want those. do you haev any body kits, engine parts, etc?

they said they are not affiliated with any engine co's as street racing si illegal. i told them im a registered/licenced autocrosser and the guy (SCOTT his name was) didnt knwo what that meant.

anyway, after 30 minutes on the phone, no one there coudl find me anything for the car. he said he was gonna send me soem paperwork and soem decals and id get em in 2 weeks. i said fine.

THAN it hits me. after i hung up i realized i filled out something online to get this fool to call me anyway. and lo and behold i saw an 88 dollar charge on my card the next day. ive since had it reveresed with my bank, thank god! so well see what happenes next.

PLEASE FOR TEH SAKE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY. DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY. I DONT KNWO ABOTU CARS, BUT IN MUSIC REALITY YOU NEVER HAVE TO SEND ANYONE MONEY TO GET STUFF. that only happens if lets say you get a 75% off deal, than of course you pay the differance.

speaking of the co's these guys use, i went to all there sites and the stuff looks liek crap. oh i almost forgot, he offered me verticle doors. i said thast cool, if i get them for free. he saoid no, about 1500. i can get teh kits myself from a magazeene cheeper than that! the best part is, is they say they have deals with dunlop, so i asked abotu tires...and guess what. they couldnt even find anythign to fit my rims...wierd. they are STOCK NISSAN RIMS! idiots.

see kids, if this was a REAL endoresement company they woudl find you stuff that woudl work in your car!!!!!

striek 3 with me. anyone else actually take pix of there "products installed" lets see them
