Thanks

I kinda checked into it, the app is free to send but once they accept you, there is an $89 fee. So Im not really sure, I didnt dig deeper than that.

it would be decent if it was legit, i could always use free swag.
however, odds are you always get sponsored by a decal company, and well, thats lame unless you are into that.

two people in our chapter in miami got into that deal and after reading and getting into it bailed out, like everyone said its a bunch of BS, mainly a) you have to get the parts they sell, yea sell, your buying it from them and b) they dont admit to it but it states it in the contract, your car becomes their property too, if they want at any given time to use it for an add they can, and that 1/3 of the cash they pay on parts you select is actually the amount of money you saved by purchasing from them... i.e. your buddy at chino's discount shaved 5 bucks off of a e-brake boot at the register for you. Thus the these sponsorship pple would say they paid 5 bucks of that e-brake boot b/c of the sponsorship, when in reality it was just a discount. get me?

Gil Films I got window tint, Max it out I got a dvd, Tsunami got me a 4gauge wiring kit, blaupunkt self explanatory, EA got me diamond plated floor mats, colorsystem self explanatory, r-blox sound deadener. Just click the links provided you will see their product line. All of which is on order....

Everytime I see your SL ID starting a new topic, I always end up reading it as Fistingabear. Just thought you should know

Something just seems off about it.
The only stuff I would realy want is the megan racing stuff, and then, not to sure if i would actualy use that brand or not.
i'm glad you had a good exp with them, but there are just to many chances to have a bad exp.
2 things i never plan on paying for are sex and sponsors

Ya, Break_Away is a good source for the CS.com info.

Here's a good discussion on it as well:

yea, it's pretty much a hoax, I actually signed up and sent the form. Yes, indeed they only charge u if and only if you get sponsored. They got me these stupid companies that i never even heard of and not much uses too! I get like 55% off of the items and maybe a few free decal kits, that's not worth the money! don't do it!

Honestly king its all up to the sponsor company themself on what discount you get Quasi (partial) or full either way its discounted goodies for your ride..
