Tell them to take them down or you'll seek legal action.

Oh wow. You may actually have to retain a lawyer and have him send a letter to get them to do it.

I believe you can call eBay and give them the item number and they may do something about it.

Is that picture one you've taken or was it a previous owner's?

I know how you feel, I normally wouldn't mind some one reposting pics of my car but when they're making money off them it grinds my gears a bit. I know it sucks but if they haven't responded so far it'll probably take legal intervention to move forward. Try reporting to eBay, that should take care of one of them.

Edit: I just realized that the first one has plastered their own watermark all over it. That would royally **** me off.

Why do you even care? Just wondering because I wouldn't care if someone used a pic of my car, I would kinda be happy that they liked it so much.

I built the car, I took the picture, I Think its cool they like my car but not cool that they are using it to make money. They make it seem like it came from them when it came from Accolade. and adding their water mark on it is like they are claiming ownership of it. I'm probly not going to take legal action. But I think they should at least give me the credit i deserve. It took alot of work and effort to get the car looking like that.

Is that the VIS carbon fiber hood you have? I was thinking about buying one. Looks like the cheapest is on ebay for about $600 shipped. Is it possible to remove the front grill part? How's the fitment?
