Rushkits.com using a picture of my car to sell Tsunami kit!
I was browsing around for body parts to complete my body kit today when I came across this link for Tsunami body parts on sale
http://www.rushkits.com/-strse-8826/...FUw3OAod3WE8Fw
Thats the picture of MY CAR the very first day I picked it up from the body shop after having the Tsunami bumper and Veilside hood put on! Im flattered, but at the same time I feel a little... violated? Dont they have to ask permission to use a pic of my car on their website? Maybe I could lobby for free parts for helping them advertise?
Anyways, thought this was funny. Its not every day I go browsing for RX8 parts and come across a pic of my car!

haha.. thats hmm odd. Definatly shoot them a Email saying you didnt give permission about using your car for promotional purpose's. If all else maybe ask for some kinda sponsor ship with a discount on any parts you buy lol..

Yeah. Definitely mention it. That's not cool. Maybe if Tsunami featured it but not a dealer...
Love that nose by the way. Definitely top 3 in my book.

^^^ true
ya man go for it whats the worst you get a pic off their site that you may not b the most comfortable with anyways. ask them for the sides or rear that you needed. you said you wanted to get those so as not to be to front heavy
i also remember you saying at one point that you wanted a different brand or style. but IF THEY GIVE YOU FREE OR DISCOUNT GO FOR IT. this is as close as you come to getting what you want for cheaper.

IDK, its kinda cool being the picture on the #1 hit for googling "Rx8 Body kit"
But I emailed them saying that I thought it was unprofessional to use a picture of someones car w.o. asking, and that provided they ask my permission they can keep the pic up. I also offered to retake the pic with a rushkits.com sticker on my windshield in exchange for some goods! We'll see what they say.

Seeing that they also have pretty nice "additional photos", don't think they care to do much for you. The best you gonna get is them remove pic from the site.
At least u can tell ppl, "that's my car on their page!"
