That's the danger with the internet. Once you place text, or an image on the 'net, it is up for graps. I would put my web site URL, and put "Property of ....." also on ALL of your pics. Sorry to hear about this BS....

Yes, once you put your text and pics on the web, its up for grabs.

With that being said, you would think that common courtesy would prevail here in ClubLexus.....and credit be given to the rightful owner.

It just shows that LexusGrill.com has NO CLASS!! Let's all boycott LexusGrill.com......until such time credit is given to BananaGS.

"Yes, once you put your text and pics on the web, its up for grabs"

getting copywright for the website is pretty expense especially for a free website. Darrel at Lexuspart.com sent me some good info on protecting the low buget website like mine
For anyone that want to know:
http://intlwholesale.com/email/20021104.htm


I had contacted the admin of Lexusgrill, he agreed to remove the DIYs, but for a week already, he still have not remove it.

i guess, I'll send him another email.

I feel for you, Anh.
If he wants to keep your DIY....ask him to pay for it.

Default Boycott him

Ahn – why don’t you repost a new thread referencing something more descriptive of the grille chroming, or theft of diy pictures, etc. “Why do this” probably won’t continue to get attention over time. I thought about bumping this every now and then to keep it in front of new members – everyone should be aware of this guy and his “business”. Don’t know how Ethan feels about this kind of thing but most of us won’t do business with him anyway.

I was wondering if this lexusgrill guy actually does much business??? I would think that any Lexus enthusiast will stumble on this site and learn that you can DIY grill. Either way, its wrong of him to copy and not give credit. BananaGS, I admire your bravery with your DIY's and for sharing. That is such BS that he ripped you off.
Peace!

well i have to say, there are always dumb people around, like the one in that pic who spends that much money for something he already has. and did i mention he charges like 20 bucks for the whatever caliper sticker? you gotta be kidding me coz' those stickers cost nothing more than 50 cents to make
