Congratulations Francis! We are proud to inform you that your ‘Pimp Your Ride’ sponsorship has been approved and finalized by all of the participating sponsors. The amount and the details of each sponsorship are being negotiated and finalized with the company at this time by our staff on your behalf. As in any full sponsorship we secure, it will be a full sponsorship which means you do not have to pay for products, shipping or incur any other costs associated with the full sponsorship.

Within 24 hours, Ragen St. Peter, our National Sponsorship Advisor will be contacting you via email with all of your sponsorship information, product details and any of the other information that you will need.

Also, because your application meets one or more of our guidelines, our Advanced Placement Department (APD) is interested in your qualifications. They are currently reviewing your application and will be working to get you an additional sponsorship. APD uses strict standards to place qualified applicants and many times they are able to get additional sponsorships. In your particular case, APD would like to give you the first opportunity to be featured in the upcoming H.I.N. Show in your home town. We have 3 different areas to fill: 1. Featured CS Car (In our booth) 2. Featured Air Brushed Car (Your car air-brushed LIVE at H.I.N Show) 3. Vendor Booth (Your car featured at a “H.I.N. Booth’s On Tour” Vendors Booth)

Uh, not sure exactly whats going on. Just contact the people and tell them you dont want to do it anymore.

HardcoreZ28 · 01-25-2006, 01:34 PM

See my reply in one of your duplicate posts....I think they are BS.

Also what type of car do you have? You know H.I.N> stands for Hot Import Nights right? Last time I checked most of us have F-Bodies.

You do not have to accept any particular quasi-sponsorship or full sponsorship but you will be charged the initial $89 set up fee if we locate, secure and award you a sponsorship.

when they start asking for money, that's when you have to think about it.

BigAls87Z28 · 01-26-2006, 11:20 AM

I can see into the future...and its not good...not good at all...

Tru2Chevy · 01-26-2006, 11:37 AM

It's a scam. My friend's brother did that once with his WRX and trying to actually get "sponsorship" money from them was a nightmare. Plus, if they were really amped about giving you all of this sponsorship money, why would they charge you a setup fee?

My advice is to steer clear - it's all bad news.

Most likely its a scam. There was a post someone made on NEThirdgen (I think) a while ago and turned out to be a scam

nj85z28 · 01-27-2006, 01:27 PM

SSport · 01-27-2006, 01:33 PM

I got screwed by them....they said the sign up was free yadda yadda but there was a $89 sign up fee so i was like ok whatever.......when i found out that it was all **** companies and that i would only be getting a 10% discount i said no more......6 months later i get a $250 charge to my credit card for some sport compact thing and i had to file a claim with my credit card company and get all my numbers changed......they were actually giving out my credit card number to other companies
