are you sure its your pic? because if you can prove it and it bugs you you have them remove it and if they dont yuo can take it to court and get sum mulla out of it. i remember when something like this happened to Camaroguy18 on TGO a while back. they photoshoped his car black and was trying to sell pics of it in poster form. he had them all destroyed and got um reperations for his pain and suffering lol but if you're sure its your car, id deffinatly contact them about that crap.

[maroman88]

lol id take a free billet grille or two, i sold the car to my aunt like 2 years ago and she still has it.

yea its mine its got my girls fordham keychain hanging from the mirror and my radar detector and i posted the original pic in my 1st post

[chevylover5]

Write back and tell him that you have proof that it's your car, and that you want him to remove the pic or otherwise compensate you.

Got any lawyers that are family friends that could send a letter to "speed things along"? ;)

not even, make up a lawyer and sign it :-D

[chevylover5]

ok so i was curious and sent them a message also wondering whose car that was. this is what I wrote.

"Dear goody4less,
I really like the product that you have here. However I was wondering whose car that was in the pictures, because it looks an aweful lot like a friend of mines car. Just curious, great product you've got there."

and this is what they sent me in return

"That was one of our buyer made for us. Thanks!"

so im guessing thru ebonics and spanglish translation... you took the picture of your car with the grill and sent it to them.

[Brando56894]

haha, get them for all theyre worth

[ryanfx]

My pic is currently being used on top for 1 of the random banners... I demand compensation in the form of a user title =p


oh yeah... it's definitely your car. Look at the inspection sticker + sun reflection. Make them pay for your losses! :lol:

[maroman88]

i sent ebay an email at like 3pm and havent heard back.

stupid question.... how do i take a "screen shot" and save it??

[79dizZy28]

push the "print screen" button at the top of your keyboard, between the F12 and Scroll Lock buttons. Then you can go into Paint/photoshop/whatever and just hit paste. It will paste a screen shot of whatever your screen looked like when you pushed the print "screen button".

[maroman88]

thanks


here was my reply to what they said

you must be mistaken. it is MY photo, with your item photo chopped on it. i own the orginal photo and you took it and altered it and are now using it to make a profit. since it is mine, and you decided to use it, i am entitled to a portion of the profit or paid in some way.

[WayFast84]

Dude that sucks! I took a screen shot of it for yah, just incase they change it before you get one.

edit, too late, but will still keep it Just in case ;)

[maroman88]

looks like i won:)

"The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale."

[Teds89IROC]

haha nice, woulda been cool if they just sent you a grille though

[maroman88]

that was fast, they picked a new car!

[trashman01]

[79T/A]

thats the worse photochop ive seen


You ain't kiddin! These guys suck! They can afford to make grilles, but they can't get their own test vehicle?! Talk about 'Fly by night industries.'

[trashman01]

[WayFast84]

That's awesome. Imitiation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Back when I had my '78Z I had somebody hot link to one of my pics in an Ebay auction, so I changed the pic to the filthiest gay porn I could find. Ebay removed the auction in a few hours LOL.
