Default Calling All Members! Someone's Using my car on ebay

Well guys someone sent me a link to an ebay auction for body kits using my car as their advertisement. I woudlnt care so much except for the fact that My kit is not ground dynamics its andysautosport. Another thing is my side skirts are cavalier skirts and are flared out to match the bumper. I also altered the front and rear bumpers, especially the rear.

After looking at ground dynamics homepage I found my pics there as well...all with their watermark all over it.

I ask all HMT members to send some hate mail their way.

Anyways here are the links:

The ebay auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2439983174

This is their homepage you have to go to body kits and click on sunfire... http://www.grounddynamics.com/merchant/mainpage.htm

Can I act like one of your sponsors that's pissed off about my company being misrepresented as some kind of "cheap ebay company?" Signed StealthmodePerformance of course.

They aren't too far from my area either. As this thing unfolds, a visit is now possible at any time.

Stealtmode I'm pretty sure they are aware they are knocking off andysautosport but you may do as you wish lol.....

I'm flattered they used my car. I just dont want someone ordereing this thing and getting ripped off, trust me without the things I did the kit looks nothing like that at all......

Free ---- sounds nice though

Exactly. Whithout ripping pictures from everywhere, these guys would never have a catalog. You need reembersment for that. Let me see what kind of response I get from them.

How's this:

To whom it may concern,
It has come to my attention that your website contains photograph's of one Pontiac Sunfire in which my company has a sponsorship agreement. I have contacted the owner of this vehicle and made him aware that your website contained these photo's. He was unaware of the situation and has given no consent to the photo's or the watermark which is attached to them. We have also found these unauthorized pictures on ebay.
Furthermore, the Pontiac Sunfire in question has had hours of custom body work labor done to it which is also misleading your customers as to what they are purchasing. The suggestion that your customer will be recieving what is pictured, is not something the owner of this vehicle would like to be known for, nor my company. My company has spent great sums of money and time to create a reputation that is not easy to come by in this industry. I am sure you are aware of the investments we have made. Our reputation is something we strive on here at Stealthmode Performance, therefore, being associated with such websites as www.ebay.com is not in our best interest.
Thank you for your time, and as the base sponsor of the vehicle in your photo's, any responses should be directed towards my company.
Sincerely,
Stephen Smith
Stealthmode Performance
