Check out this guy!! Couldn't believe it at 1st. Didn't hear about this marketing campaign during Auto Tech last board meeting.
I want one of those grills at least. Been looking for a mesh style for a while and have never found one I liked.

Going to have some fun with this one..

says it was removed...

 

Listing has been removed, next time screen shot (Win Vista or 7 use snipping tool to click and drag to make a screen shot) then upload.

How is that engine cover project going?

Edit: Grr at jeff for beating my post but at least I asked a question

 

Do you have a screenshot or cache link since it's been removed?

 

I don't have Vista or 7. Does anyone here?

 

it doesnt matter now. Once gone its gone, windows 7, while fantastic, cannot turn back time

 

Just do an ALT + Prnt Scrn then paste into Paint and save the image as a jpg.

So I take it theft is the newest highest form of flattery?

 

 

Sure is...





...grabs wrenches, sockets and tire iron...

 

whoa

 

LMAO thats hilarious

 

Contact seller and demand royalties

 

5%

 

hahah sorry man, im doing an overnight tonight so im just looking for different threads to post in

 

that is awesome! i wish my car was cool enough to be worthy of something like that, even though it is a little creepy... haha

Its still there.

 

Actually I just checked eBay and there's a couple of ads up there with your car...
Funny thing is the grill looks pretty good, IMO. I'd try to get a free one off them at the very least.

 

wow lol, i want to see what the sellers do when you contact them

 

LMFAO!!! this will be interesting in court if you decide to take it there. lol.. hopefully you will get some free parts at least..

 

Court? lol

You'd have trouble with:


1. What law was broken?

 

Let them know that u want lots of free stuff......

 

Highly doubt, A- that the seller would even care or believe that the car is his, and B- give away anthing free.....

Take all pics down and put water marks on them?


I find it somewhat funny about the whole thing, but on the other hand I wouldnt want my car all over ebay.

 

I knew that car looked familiar

 

I call that respect because your car is pretty sweet and it's image of sporty-ness stands out, IMO. That's why they chose your car.
And on the other hand, the car they probably had for model wasn't nice enough to be shown on the ebay page so they got a better looking one.

 

That is one sweet deal, so if I put on that grill my maxima's hood will change colors? What a bargain at that price.

Being serious if you park your car on public streets, the public is allowed to take photos of your car. Same goes for posting your car pictures online. All expectations of privacy went out the window.

Where it gets tricky is when the person taking the picture intends to make money, then forms have to be signed and all that jazz.

 

does this mean you get a GD on these?

 

He doesn't have that grill they photoshoped that one on there from his maxima of the month pictures or from a photo gallery.

 

I was just searching ebay, ran across the hijacked image and emailed rroder before finding this thread. Yeah, the sale is still availble.

probably someone from the Org that works there haha, looks good though =]

 

I think it'd be cool to see my car used, but on two conditions:

1) I was asked/contacted.
2) They didn't watermark it as THEIRS. That's kind of irritating, IMO

 

whoa whoa whoa, so you dont even own this grill nor even know this company but they somehow photoshopped their grill on your car???... im sorry i would have to be an a$$ and demand some $$$ or its court for false advertisement using your car for business without your permission... i sure there is something to be gained for you here

 

the least they could do is give u a free grill! looks really good IMO

 

I recognize that picture from a thread posted by the OP on here. creepy thing is that you can see the OPs kid sitting in the car seat in the picture on the Ebay add.

On the plus side, free advertising for Auto Tech Performance OP

 

Right!!

I would have used another photo, or photoshoped him out of there.

 

ha i actually saw that on ebay and i was like wow that car is someone's on the org and than what do you know you post this thread

 

If someone uses photos of you or your property in a commercial venture to make money, they have to have permission of the owner. This is being used by building owners against the movie & tv companies. If you look at skyline shots in movies, you will see that buildings are missing. The World Trade Towers were missing from the New York skyline shots (including some postcards) before 9/11 happened.

 

any update on this? are you going to contact them? I would for sure at least expect a free grill and credit for the photo

 

I've been dialing the main number and no one answers. I wonder if the company is legit.

 

The same thing happened to me! The seller is "blinglights" you folks might wanna go check them out... they offered a free HID kit to me.

 

Well these forums are public. I guess anybody can copy and save pics and re-post elsewhere. Is it legal?
