Default OK so look what I found on Fleabay....

I was looking at some parts for my car and came across, well, pics from my car!!!!


Someone must have taken pics I posted here and used them for a dash kit listing.


There are one or two other cars from this forum there too.

Im kinda flattered but then again, its a little weird.

Report them to eBay. I had a seller use some of my photos awhile back and as soon as I reported the "theft" the listings vanished, and the user did as well. Don't be flattered, be upset that imges of your property are being used without your permission!

I actually got the car back from the fiberglass shop today (monday)

Looks like it will be super nice, but it is unfinished so it looks unfinished.

Have to take it to paint shop, they will do final shaping and sanding and grind door gaps perfect. Bumpers look very cool seamed in. All in all they did a nice job. I wil post pics in the next day or two.

The second car looks like a custom alloy plate that the car owner made. How would their stickers have fit that?
-did I miss something?

You should get a cut of the sale! Oh, and be grateful they are not selling briefs!

You should go after a percentage of the sales. check out all the bad online reviews about them.

Asking for permission first might have been nice.

Is that EBAY kit on your dash? If not, then false advertising. If yes, then who cares.

My car is on a few sites. I don't mind because the company's product is on my car.

So, are you going to report them to ebay?
As mentioned, that is what you should do!
