LoL...
Same thing happened to me. The funny part is I emailed them to remove my pictures, if not then I would be entitled to a percentage of every kit they sold because of my pictures.
Some jerk-off replied and told be to kick rocks because they owned the pictures and the car. Told them the email was beign forward to an attorney's office who was going to have an easy case since I owned the car free and clear (paid off) and I never consented to any pictures. The pictures were removed the next day.
Some other sites still use the pics, but its already been over 4 years, so I'm like f-it! It's done.

Maybe its the thought that an attorney would be involved. I believe there's a term for what I/we requested "cease and decieast"????? (Yes, I can't spell for ish!) . Basically: stop that or I'll sue!

However, in this instance I believe the main point is the fact that the sellers are knowingly using false pictures to sell a product.
Say, they show your car for reasons of selling an exhaust, but yet the potential customer recieves brand-X. Same as if I was selling something here on the forum, why post pictures of your car when I'm not selling YOUR parts.

I totally get you. If the parts and a different brand then that;s bad but if they just want to see a pic of what it looks like installed I don't see it as being too bad if you didn't have a pic of the item installed on your car.
The bad thing I had was someone stole my pics and put MY CAR for sale on ebay and also on autotrader, so someone thought they were getting a sweet widebody MR2 and it wasn't my car at all. People kept contacting me on cardomain to ask if it was me selling it or a fake. I wasn't selling it. That would definately be deceiving!

I'm sorry that there a a number of you with bad experiences with Extreme Dimensions. I have personally never had a problem with them before. Neither has anyone that I know of personally.
I would say if you are still having problems with your pictures being up on the website, go ahead and e-mail my buddy at the origional e-mail listed. He is relatively new to the company (within 10 months). He has been taking care of a lot of business like what you all are describing.
Here is a thread from rx7club about something similar that my buddy Geoff took care of:

I dont work there, so I dont have a strong answer. I see where you are comming from though. I think the idea is that they like to have an image of the parts actually on a car. The true fact of the matter is that lots of companies take eachothers images. Surf long enough on the internet and you will find examples. Its possible that E.D. took people's personal images, or they might of gotten them from another website. It may be because on the retail side, a retail store takes images of someones car, and then sends them to the manufacturer. Its really hard to say.
Bottom line is that no, it isn't right. Are they going to stop? Probably not. Will other companies stop? Probably not. Its a fast solution for thier needs. What my friend is doing is taking care of the people that have a problem with this. If you can prove that you have a car, and that E.D. stole your pictures, then they either give doscounts on their parts to that person, or remove the images. From what I understand, they dont get many complaints...at least not as long as my friend has worked there.

Too bad he wasnt there about 3 years ago, couldve been resolved quickly and easily, but now i dont own that car anymore and its in the past. Just sharing my experience. We too sell some replica pieces, but we will NEVER use pictures that are not of our own products. I dont care if other companies do it, its just the way we run our business.
