Looks like they got the pics from NICO. I've checked everywhere(myspace, cardomain) to see if I may have hosted them somewhere but NO>.

there is a saying:

plagirism is the best form of flattery

but I understand why you'd be upset... if I were you, I'd get a hold of them... maybe ask for 100$ worth of stuff for long term use... or even provide better, detailed pics for that amount.

I mean if you guys want to fight, they can just take it right off of their website, or they can always find another car to use...

why not get something out of it that's reasonable for the both of you?

Not cool.

Feel free to give them my contact information, I'll be open to hear an explanation.

If Bomex is affiliated with you in anyway, I'm sure they would be VERY upset if you tryed to hammer out a deal with a company making copies. Just tell importfan to take off the pictures, not worth trying to get anything out of them.

Should get Bomex lawyers on their case.Using their product to sell their knockoff product.Then get a bird-dgos fee for informing them.

I find it interesting that TWO of our members have had the same problem with the same company.

I personaly would like to see NICO take a stand and let these people know that if this pattern continues our 29k members and the members of other community forums will be boycotting Import Fan.

We already should be, considering they do not contribute to keeping our forums up and running.

NICO needs to develop a program that 'watermarks' all images when uploaded to NICO Members Gallery.

yeah, bomex that is (and has always been) a real sweet ride. it's not cool that they are stealing your images, and you have rights to do something about it.

but is that duct tape on your front body kit? hehe? what are those grey patches???
