Unless the car was sponsored by a company, writing to them won't do much. Wheel shops do this all the time, I've seen my cousin's car on ebay but they were advertising a fake replica version of his spoiler.

Just an idea. Assuming you took the pictures of your car write the company, with the help of a lawyer, demanding either compensation for the advertising use of your pictures, they stop using the pix or you will sue for copyright infringement.
Why not get some money for your next mod?

First off I love your car..
I think I would have mixed feelings about it.. At first I was like man, I wish someone would use my car.. then I thought about what you said that these people could possibly be shady sellers on ebay and your car would be affilited with there name..

wow, I would be pissed. I see why they used your car, sweeeet. But as mentioned, on principal alone I would insist through whatever means at my disposal, that they remove your car from any advertising they do, or compnsate you.
Good luck!
Good luck!
