i dont mean this in a rude way so please dont take it that way....why would they want to sponsor your car? it is completely stock (thats not a bad thing) usually they pick a car that already has alot of stuff done to it. usually ALOT of exterior mods that will get attention at shows (body kit, huge spoiler etc)

well they are going to make you mod your car.
it all depends on your taste..to me all show cars are rice..all (nasty) show and no go...but if you like that look then go for it.

i would be very careful. signing a contract makes sense but i have a few sponsors and i have never signed any contract. make sure its legit before u sign anything.

seems that he is sponsored to be a mobile Ad. read an article about people getting paid to advertise on their cars (and body- temp. tats), even mini-vans. they are just paying him by reimbursing with mods.

but yes, read that paper. maybe they don't require mods, but then you will be their billboard for free.

so what's the company? did you see the banner? you can send me the number then, i'll help ya out.

i just looked into this deal and it is a total scam. They charge you $80.00 to proccess the application. Also i was reading a guys post on another forum who said he had been sponsored by them for a year and they did not honor any of there agreements stated in the contract so he is starting a class action suit.

THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY OR SIGN ANY CONTRACTS. PLEASE, SPONSORSHIPS DO NOT WORK THIS WAY. TRUST ME.

Just trying to save you from being ripped off.

Regards,
Bryan

I was gonna say Congrats... but I'm not so sure now after Bryan's post... what's the deal with your sponsorship anyway? Who are they again?

yes, my vote is that it is a scam too, i remember someone posting about this company and saying that you need to pay first to get something...

You have to wonder (like soonerfan stated) why would they be interested in a stock car? And one that is 5 years old no less? Smells fishy.
