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)

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.

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
