LOL... yeah, that's my car.



This was on ebay a few months ago too... I was actually kinda flattered that my car reached a high enough status that someone would want to rip off it's image. My front kit is modified to not have the front plate "tooth"... Guess I should contact the seller.

I'll email him with a link to this thread, and ask him to remove it.

Still kinda cool though. wink1.gif

you can even see where the tree took out my passenger side corner! And my side mirrors are still folded from having the car cover on it for the winter. (took the car cover off to take the pic). The right photograph can make any car look good, eh?

Ericy, that would be nice... I'd be fine with that. I sent a him a link to this thread... so who knows.

I mailed him last night through e bay to see what he came back with, this is what i got --(Steve,

The Tiburon is not mine it belongs to a customer of VIS. I will need to know your shipping address before giving you a ship quote.)

So , at least he did make out it was his, but VIS are the ones in the wrong by the looks of it, i'd have a word in thier ear Phorq.

The seller got back to my request for him to remove the pic. He said that this is the "official VIS Racing product image, see the watermark?"... ::smacks forhead::

So I emailed VIS Racing about it, asking them to remove the image, and posted a link to this thread. It's posted on their website, so it does seem to be their bad. Haven't heard back from them yet.

On a side note, the Veilside image that they use is from a local guy here in Upstate, NY. I posted this on the local forums, and he's annoyed as well. The difference being that he has a sponsorship through them, but they denied him anything for this year. Sheistey.

....FLATTERED?


Phorq, look at it this way (at least I do).

Your tib is your girl, you put your work into her and she pleases you back. Only fags think of their car's as "guys" (*cough...kitfox).... lmao.gif

You like to dress your girl up nice, and now some biatch company is stealing your personal photos of your girl wearing only panties.... just to sell the panties.
Now you have lil' kids whackin it to your girl's pictures (*cough...kitfox).... lmao.gif
HAHA^ ..sorry :ashamed:


Only bad things can come of this. wink1.gif
