that's because of the number of times my car has been linked in some way to those wheels either in posts, on a mods list, in the tunerzine article, etc... i have to say it is pretty book to see the car when you search. i just don't agree with it being used in an advertisement without consent or reward

C O P Y R I G H T !

you can even try it yourself for a nominal fee: www.legalzoom.com

Dude, you cant really complain about getting your pictures abused if you yourself are not taking defensive measures to protect your privacy and personal matters. Thats like posting your SSN all over the place and complaining about getting your identity stolen.

Not trying to give you a hard time, but this is happening repeatedly and people are using your hard earned money, time, sweat, blood, tears, and imagination to line THEIR pockets with dough. That would NOT happen on my time.

You should try contacting google admin and see what they can do about your pixs coming TTT for the search on your wheels.

Good luck Tony, I would be pissed if they kept using my whip.

I was thinking the same thing....like tagging your photos somehow, even if its light, but so that it somehow covers your car or the image or something like that. Not that it will stop some, but hopefully will deter most from using your cars pics.

it's kinda hard to protect image from internet, it's almost impossible. watermark only work if you post your own image in your blog/website, but watermark in a showcase car website, like this http://www.tunerzine.com/view_articl...ture/carbon-gs ? i don't think it's gonna work. Btw, I got that link on page 3 when I googled "exe konvex".
