That site is just a big scam. You pretty much pay $89 for stickers and never acquire a real sponsorship. You still have to pay for the parts. I've heard too many stories of people getting ripped off on that site. Just do a search and you'll get a ton of threads of people talking about it. There's one guy on this site who swears by it and here's a pic of his car:



I hope you see what I mean now.
