Storm, I agree with your anger. We put a lot of thought and work into our cars to make them how we want them to look, and to have somebody copy your set up purposely would be frustrating. However, what are the chances that person copied your car on purpose? If that were the case, then yes, you have the right to feel how you want. But if you choose parts that are easily obtainable and desirable, then i believe this is purely coincidental.
Holla at the guy. Maybe this is a photo shoot opportunity.

I wouldn't worry about it. Majority of gs owners buy vossens, and that doesn't bother them. I guess, if you want to be original, then you have to pull out your wallet, and have things built specifically for you. That means adding extra 30-40% on top of what you've paid for the car...

Thats how I feel everytime I see an Altima, G35/37 etc
Yeah its messed up b/c there are so many choices out there you lose that originality. However it is a tremendous form of saying you have good taste.
Funny but I modded my 2GS nearly identical to bitkahuna's. I remember even calling him and "asking permission" to get the same wheels out of respect.
He was nice and said yes but in retrospect he probably felt he lost some of the originality of being the only one....
next thing I know he has HREs

Fortunantly, I have a set of wheels on my car that no one else has. I like that a lot. But if someone else gets them, what can I do. I would get a little upset only if that person purposely copied me. I'd let it go eventually, though.
I like Vossens but I can't see myself buying a set because so many cars are rocking them. I could get them only if I custom painted them or something. I saw an SC today with a set color matched white. Looked alright.

Same here, once I asked another clublexus member for his blessing because I wanted to buy the same wheels (in another finish though). Ultimately I didn't get them but I thought it was polite to ask.

I wouldnt let this bother you....check out the 2gen IS section and see how many of the cars are identical. Just think your car inspired someone else!! You should be happy not taken back by it
Funny thing would be if this person has never seen your car and they think that you copied them

I know people who bashed my car the went to go buy one, rat pos.
You cant trust anybody these days, people will copy and rat you to save themselves
At night when they go to sleep they will have to live with it, the rat moves they made
Do you thing and set trends, let others follow,
