Re: Just Got Sponsorship.

I hope for your sake that this is a "real" sponsorship. There were several bogus sponsorship things going around a couple of years ago and people I know got burned.

Re: Just Got Sponsorship.

No, I will only pay 45% and the sponsering company will pay for 55% of the total product price. They also pay for the install charges and entry fee into any competition that i chose. Not a bad trade considering the i get a 55% discount on the items for a total of $12000 in expenses.

Re: Just Got Sponsorship.

yup...i know the sponosr you are talking about...

damn...forgot the website. but you give them a upfront fee of like $45 or $85. This is the cost of setting up the contract. After that, they'll refund the cost of the application fee on your first purchase.

if this is the same group...be careful. i talked to the guy on the phone and it seemed kind of fishy. They say you have to order from their product catalog, which they say is extensive. I asked them if the sold Volk wheels and they said yes.

I asked him, as an example, how much I could get Volk GT-7s for through this sponsorship. Surprise surprise, he said that they do carry the volks, but the computer was not bringing up the prices.

i asked him about a website I can look to research about the company and he said there wasn't one.

if this is a true sponsorship, why the hell are they charging you an application fee? as sponsors, can't they cover those fees themselves?

make sure you're comfortable with their answers before forking any money over.

Re: Just Got Sponsorship.

I call B$ too.. I was in the audio business for 10 years and when ANY manufacturer sponsored someone all they got was equipment. NEVER NEVER do they send a check..
The would reimburse entrance fees AFTER you sumbit receipts for it. Come man, wake up... what makes you special? Most major sponsorships go to employees of the highest performing dealers.... The only thing individuals get is half off retail... never any cash.

Re: Just Got Sponsorship.

Yeah, I heard of it too. https://secure.cnchost.com/getsponsored.net/page1.htm

Heres the link. It's called sport compact pro. It costs $85. They say parts are up to 55% off. Thats how they get you. Some parts are cheaper, but most parts are like $2 off. I wouldn't even suggest getting their sponsorship.

Re: Just Got Sponsorship.

Looks like he may have already sent in his check.

if it's too good to be true....

hey, there's that 0.9% chance this will work for you. if so, post details and let us know what parts you get
