Neither Steve nor I did either but I recieved a flyer in the mail today with his car pictured on the front! Funny....they never asked to use his car or the photo that he took. We also never heard of them. I took a look at their website tonight and found a pic of my car along with his in the "customer gallery"! I also recognized other fbodies there http://www.streettrendsinc.com/gallery/customer/index2.html
By law they werent allowed to use the photo on the flyer or the website. They are copyrighted plus they even took the copyright off the photo on the website . We're sending them an email now about it. Thought some might find this interesting and know some of the cars pictured.

Michelle, I recognize your car, and several of these others are birds Ive seen pictures of posted on and a lot of other boards.
It looks like they just sort of pulled popular pictures off, hoping people would identify them, and assume they get more business.
Nothing like unethical business practices to scare away customers. make sure to let us know what they say?

Well they replied with this and didnt address them using Steve's car in a publication/flyer. I think its a bunch of crock what he said.
I am very sorry and feel like an ass for putting a copyright picture in our web gallery. Allot of people sent us pictures to post in our new gallery over the past six months or so and that one was mixed in. The gallery has been updated to not include your car. It is a shame though I loved that car. Sorry again and thanks for checking out the new site.

I never heard of them before either.Nitto tires used several pictures of my car that were hosted on my old Webshots account for an ad they ran in a few magazines.I don't even have Nitto tires LOL! I contacted them and tried to get a free set of tires out of them to no avail.

He didnt state that when he started the post but the thing is he used it on the flyer without asking
