I was wondering if anyone has heard about Pimp your ride from carsponsership.com? They told me I have qualified but want me to pay $89 for a processing fee to get sponsered.

 

Smells like

 

I agree!! but I was just putting it out there to see if anyone had heard of them. I was not about to give them a credit card number like they wanted!

 

this has been talked about here before, do a search and you'll find the thread. Turns out its BS.

 

I know folks that have done this. It's all BS. They are theives in my opinion.

 

Yup...load of crap. From what I understand, your "sponsorship" is essentially a discount coupon booklet.

BFD

 

Well this just confirms what I thought. Thanks for the response!

 

Yea i know, i went over the "contract" and it's just BS. They say they'll "negociate" a sponsorship for you BUT it can be full or partial. Full, you get everything for free (no numbers of how many "full sponsorships" they've got to people). Now, the partial, it's just that you get the stuff "at cost", but at cost to whom???.

Now, once they "negociate" that sponsorship you have to pay $89 (no matter if it's full or partial).IMO, I think it's just a hook to make people pay those $89 telling them they were not able to "negociate" the full sponsorship.

If they would put some facts & Numbers they may be able to project a better image, but for know I'd say... STAY AWAY!!!!!!

 

It's a scam.. why would they ask for money up front ? Any company I would think would receive revenue or a finders fee for locating a car worthy of sponsorship (like mine)... I got mine by knocking on doors and showing them what i got... CLR Motorsports of Miami built my one of a kind T70 motor for an RX8.. Then I went around to other businesses and they saw what I have and the sponsorships followed.

 

Been there, lost $89 bucks (before we knew about this forum). You get "discounts" for stereo equipment that is still higher priced than retail after their discounts. And you have to put their decals on your car (and send pictures) before they will consider trying to get you other sponsors. Of course, they own both the audio company and the decal company. It's a total scam. Stay well away.

 

Thanks for all the input, I knew it was one of those to good to be true but I wanted to put it out there and see what kind of feed back I got. Thanks again!

 

i joined them, they called me a few weeks later. told me a few sponsers. so i gave them the $89. i got a main person to deal with my "agent" named kiristin. a no full sponsers as of yet and they have coverd me for like a year n a half. wicked glass,bodykits.com,stinger. i got like 20 partial sponsors. n u only get yer discount after u put the part on yer car, take a picture of it. and they give u cash if win a show they give u like 50$. it is a fukn hoax. it blows. u can find the parts for the price they offer on the net. just gotta look. and most companys dont have parts for the vehical they r sponsering. unless u rockin a dam civic or sumthin supper common
