Anyone run into this? This company on eBay stole pictures of my car to profit off of.
This is my car with downforce carbon fiber side diffusers.
They are advertising “spoon” side skirts with my pictures.

Contact them and request a fee for the use of your photos/vehicle. When they tell you to pound sand, sic eBay on them.

Had a travel blog use my photo without permission. Emailed them and they took it out and added a photo from someone else who commented on it and said “Don’t use my photo!”

How does the hatch work on these? Do you have to open the hatch and then the trunk or do they move as one thing?

Ask really nicely and when they don’t take it down, talk to ebay.

Yeah looks like a liftback with a trunk inside to me. Hmm... Extra mini storage compartment though!

Find a lawyer to work on a winning fee basis and file a suit or just pony up for the lawyer to send a cease and desist lawyer.

I hate watermarks, but I totally understand why people start using them. You gotta do what you gotta do.

I wouldn’t bother asking nicely. Register for Ebay’s VERO program and you can nuke the listings yourself. Worked for me when someone was copying my listings, I tried contacting them and filing an ebay report for infringment- both were ignored.

Hmm I’ll have to check it out. I don’t mind people using my pictures for informational purposes or something of the like, but when they are profiting off them to sell fake knockoff parts it pisses me off!

Sent a message to the seller the day I made this post. Haven’t heard back yet! I don’t mind people using my pictures for informational purposes or something of the like, but when they are profiting off them to sell fake knockoff parts it pisses me off!

The spoon hardtop (yes its a real one from Japan) has two sections as you can see.
The front section bolts to the car and also uses the factory latches by the windshield. The rear section does not fasten to the car but is held to the front section with two speed clips.
Some people put a hinge and shock system (custom) on it but otherwise the whole rear just comes off with the two speed clips. Once the rear comes off you can open the trunk.
Its more of a “race” piece than practical. I also removed the softop.
Sold this car for the Viper ACR but I still built the s2k from the ground up myself to what you see it from a bone stock car.

Hopefully something positive comes of it! Nobody likes cheap knock off parts being portrayed as the real deal (which mine are).

Yeah I don’t know if its worth that much hassle or if the juice would be worth the squeeze. My picture (of real authentic parts) being used to portray and profit from fake parts sucks though!

Well this was originally just posted on forums cause I was one of the first to have these when they came out few years ago. Wasn’t expecting this to come out of it! Whoever buys these fake parts expecting them to look and be what was on my car is going to get a rude surprise!
