Yes, that's my car and pics taken right off my own page...

http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/94Z/piaa.htm

My pics are always getting "jacked" for eBay auctions. You know how many times my 1996SS has been for sale on there? LOL! Stuff like that doesn't bother me... a lot of times people just need a picture and that's cool. HOWEVER, this is not cool.

1) This guy is mis-representing his auction because he is NOT selling $600 worth of PIAA lights. He is selling a cheap knock off and the pics clearly show PIAA lights.

2) My PIAA light pics are always being taken for these fake auctions. This guy has zero feedback. I'd have to guess this is probably a guy who has stolen my pics before and has just created a new user account.

3) One of the pics also shows my DGM quad fogs ($375) and the auction isn't all that clear and what is and is not included... it says "lights and wiring".

4) I'll bet you a 12 pack he is selling MY instructions as well... the same ones I give away for FREE.

This assclown is beginning to get on my nerves. I've emailed him before (assuming it's the same assclown) and asked him to not misrepresent his auctions by using pics of my car which are PIAA lights. He obviously is ignorning me. I think it's time to see how well eBay responds to complaints

I reported this to eBay. Lets see if they do anything about it.

I get off work tonight at midnight. Maybe I'll "fix" my pics up a bit when I get home

Also, I didn't even think to check to see if he was hotlinking them. I didn't think anybody would be THAT stupid. Thanks... now I can have some fun

If you guys are bored and want to have some fun while I'm at work, photoshop the most rediculous lights on there that you can think of and then email me the photoshopped pic to bfranker@tampabay.rr.com Make them AS STUPID as you can!

If the auction is still up, I'll replace that picture with the one(s) you guys make

I might consider taking that bet

Considering I think the first time it happened to you, he used your car pictures and my version of the install instructions

I think this would be the 5th time someone from this board and their car was used for a headlight conversion ad. Remember the collage of your '94, the Rytek, mine, someone who had the FF75 conversion and Z28BLKHLRZR's used in an ad?

Maybe you should go put a copyright mark for everything on your install guides.

1) Write about how the auction is a rip off on the pics

2) **** that would get him banned

3) picture of you flipping off the camera

Any of those choices would be funny in my book

Hey Brent.....these guys really **** me off. I got a few "stupid" pics that have nothing to do with the headlights for you of my friend's car and other stuff from him. I showed him the thread and he linked me the pics to give to you from his website. I think these would be pretty funny when the guy checks his auction and sees these......
