Default CarSponsorship dot com

So about 3 weeks ago my buddy and i were doing the usual,looking at funny youtube vid's or what not, when i came accross the website carsponsorship.com, So both of us aplied to get our cars sponsored by sponsors i guess, he drives a '00 Si, and i have my Accord, The site claimed it was free. So this morning i got a call around 8 am from car sponsorship.com saying that my car got chosen from thousands to be "sponsored" by over 30 companies. The only thing he needed to get it done was my credit card info.

Long story short,lol, I hung up the phone, dont want to risk the chance of getting my identity or finances stolen. Has anyone heard of these people, they say they work for Universal Studios(the movie company)..

i checked out their site a while ago, they have had displays at multiple car shows i've been at so i assume they are legit.

but most of the companies they get you sponsorships with are subpar

thats how sponsorships work, they dont give you free/discounted parts for nothing, they want you to promote their product

Yeah I remember this deal from a few years back. I guess its still around.


I wouldnt do it since they have you put things on your car that you may not want in the first place. Also, I dont like being all flashy with my cars; I love the clean sleeper looks.

I also looked into it a couple years ago. You submit your vehicle, agree to attend multiple car shows, and then have to pay an $80 registration fee (cost may have changed) and then you can receive partial sponsorhips/discounts. I have heard of some people getting really crappy discounts like 15% or no-name companies. But I would check into it more. Keep us updated.

i was at hot import nights and saw their add's so i checked it out and payed the 80 dollar "agency fee." the salesman fed me bull like i will have full sponsors and get stuff for free. so i payed for the heck of it basically all the companys you can get dicounts from are companys carsponsorships own so they win twice if that makes sense. they dont own all the companys but a lot of them they do.

worst 80 bucks i spent, much would have rather burned it.
