I guess I should start watermarking my pictures. Funny part is that its not even lamin-x. Its headlight armor. I actually have the lamin-x for my reflectors and the headlight armor is a lighter shade. haha. dickheads.

I wouldn't mind if they asked me 1st but I don't want my car advertising stuff w/o the person asking. and its not even the right product

I hear ya. If it really bothers you, send them an email asking them to take the pics down or you'll report to eBay. After all, that's misleading advertising...

yea it really is. I just sent them an email hopefully they take it down. It was actually another forum member that sent me a pm saying they saw it. i never wouldve known otherwise b/c i never go on ebay

Does it really matter? If you ask that they take it down and they honor your request, they'll find another car. Ask them to send you a free set of overlays for using your car and you'll have some extra ones that you can use, sell or give to someone.

i think it matters cuz some one could be trying to purchase it thinkin its gonna look like that when their products prolly wont even look any thing like that..

06-03-2008, 12:49 PM
I don't want my car misrepresenting a product if I can help it. They are using the photo w/o my permission and it just irks me. I didn't think to ask for some free overlays. I just want the photo off really.

Was that pic copyrighted? If not, I don't think you don't have much of a complaint. Luckily, it's a pic of your car and not some other kind of pic. (.)(.)

Leave a comment on the page that just says, "First of all, you stole a picture of my car without asking my permission. Second, that is not even Lamin-X. Very misleading information" or something to make them look bad. Muahaha

i bet every single picture on all of his ebay listings are stolen
SilverB7FL
06-04-2008, 03:54 PM
if they were the wheels I wouldn't really care that much, its just that its misrepresenting the product. Something like tail tint should be a car that has the actual product thats being sold on it as the picture

now he is using respect's a4 which is also misleading, this dude needs to be reprimanded

yea audizine isnt the best place to steal pix from since most of us go on ebay all the time lol
