im jealous. lol. wish i knew how to do photoshop then i could play with my car and the sponsorship im working with could see what i have in mind, sponsors are a PITA to get and my car got in a fight with the hoosiers drifting saturday night. lol

They may be working on a hardtop or they may not even exist. Regardless they should not be posting pics of items that they are not selling.

its all fake, there is no website or nothing, i also reported it because its bull what people will do.
and its not even Nismo or JDM, lol. its by smoothline

Those wheels were VERY poorly shopped in.

EDIT: Need to read before I post. That crap pisses me off. Hope no one gets scammed.

The thing is they say "Currently we are shipping orders in 6-8 weeks."

In that amount of time they have taken your money and closed whatever account you sent it to. Even if you go through PayPal not sure how they could recover the money from the scammers.

Also, why would they put up a fake website. Don't you think if I was going to send you $900 I would check out your website first.

The whole thing is just stupid but since it was my car, I noticed it and I hate scammers. I felt a responsibility to try to give folks a heads up.

o sweet thanks!!

So i messaged the guy on ebay and he replied "no scams here my friend". Still waiting to say what he says about everything being photoshopped and the fake website. lol. Even his comments all seem fake, they are all somewhat the same like they were copied and pasted and changed a little

the top they are selling is a smoothline top only company to make a hard top for the ZR http://www.smoothline.com/nissan_350z.php

i was a 3d developer for years if you take out the backgrounds and invert the blue car your images match up exactly... very poor work plus if they are selling smoothline hard tops smoothline has stock images for use in third party sellers ..

if someone used my art work with out my permission or simply asking as a courtesy i would sue for theft of artistic property and misuse for monetary gain

hopefully it not someone who belongs to the my350z group
