I think you will get a bunch of stickers for your $89. Sponserships are not given out that way.............

i also got scammed. You just get "discounted" prices from certain product websites, and specific products. Even if you do decide to get a "discounted" product, you have to put that company's sticker on your car, take photos, and submit it to them. You have to go to shows also, the only thing you get completely free are stickers for the company's whom you purchased a product from, most of which are found on EBAY for even cheaper than their so called Semi-Sponsorship Price.

thanks for the info, i filled out part of the online form and stopped when they asked for my credit card. Then they kept sending me emails about joining. Finally I asked them to answer a bunch of questions. Haven't heard from them since.

anybody know anything about car ads? Companies pay you to place a vinyl ad on your car. Most websites only have companies similar to carsponsors.com - the middle guy. anyone know the real companies that do this?

The only true way to get a sponsorship is A. To spend money on your car. Theres no way in hell your gettin a free ride with a simple xA. Being that the xA is on its last legs anyways its gonna be even harder to find a sponsor. To get things back in the long run you need to spend money up front to get you to that point

I could do it as a service. A one time fee. Write you up a porfolio and tell you where to get started.

I'm serious too. I'd do it.
