Reminds me of Carbongs, and when it seemed like every week there was a new thread about someone using his car in an advertisement without his permission lol.

X2, thought this was going to be another case of someone seeing CarbonGS's car being used without his permission.

I used to do marketing for some large aftermarket companies...cant tell you how many times they would just go to Google images for a car to use in ads. Personally, I always asked for permission from the car owner first. So you have no idea who runs that site?

Yeah, I usually didn't have any issues with people using the pictures it was just always either false advertisement or I would personally get emails about how certain things were sold to them and it didn't fit when I didn't get the parts from the people who advertised it. Simple example is when the wheels were sold using my picture and I got pm-ed and emailed regarding why they got the wheels and it didn't fit like in my pictures.
