That sucks he stole your pics. Sounds like he is trying to scam someone. Did you try to email the highest bidder and let him know whats going on? Some people on EBAY are so shady By the way your GS looks really sweet. I like the UGO kit and that exhaust is perfect

Sorry about the buttwipe stealing pics, but your car is nice. To be honest most people on the street would not even know your car had a kit, its just that tasteful (which is a GOOD thing). Car kinda has a factory sport look. Good job

That's not your car. That car has no kit. It has TRD sways and Tein HAs.

Seriously, though, sorry to hear about the "car" theft. This seems to be happening more frequently. Hope you nail this person.

Sorry to hear about this ebay scammer. This is why I'd NEVER consider buying a car off ebay (or any other expensive purchase). But hey, think of it as a compliment...your GS just looks so nice that people are claiming it as theirs!

And oh yeah, no excuses...wash your car
