aha...

ok

1. Their is no Fast and the Furious 4, it's Fast and Furious.
2. Don't you think they would be looking for cars when the movie comes out in the beginning of April?
3. Wouldn't you think a more professional site would be used for casting calls of a movie?

http://www.carsponsors.com/registration/index.php

Bottom of the site "fine print"

"CarSponsors.com is a sponsorship placement agency working with many established, well-known and reputable automotive companies. Additionally, we work with Hot Import Nights, NCCA - National Custom Car Association, Installer Institute, and others to ensure you will receive only the most valuable sponsorships available. These companies use our services to screen potential individuals before sponsorships are awarded to them. Apply today and in less than 48 hours you could be sponsored by one or more major automotive companies.

* Free Application Review Details - Our agents will review your application free of charge. If your application is reviewed and accepted for full or quasi sponsorships your card will be charged a one-time agency fee of $99.00. You will never be charged if your application is not accepted."


Personally, I don't think it so much of a scam but more of a middle man type thing, just like a real estate agent. Pay someone to find something you want for you. Instead of contacting these big name companies yourself and having a 2% chance, you might have better odds doing it through them. BUT THIS SHIT IS REALLY DUMB IF YOU ACTUALLY DO IT! WORK HARD AND YOU BE YOUR OWN SPONSOR!

no, they have their own other company, that does vinyl graphics, so they say yeah, you are sponsored, and then send you free graphics that cost them $2

Turns out after they told me I was picked... (And yes, i was jumping and soooo Excited ) that there is going to be a $89 charge to start the sponsorship. Sounding fishy so i googled the number "239-274-5552" and turns out their big scammers. So don't trust your myspace even guys be careful and don't fall for this, peace!

Gullible OP? Sponsors don't approach you, you approach sponsors.

They go out and find you sponsors, but they are always shit you would never want.

To get a sponsor you need to send pics of a car and what you plan on doing for them, future plans for the car, shows/evens you attend, and etc. They want to know why it would help them to sponsor you. Just a tip on getting a real sponsor!
