Lol at people asking saying ask for a percent of the sales lol.... We all know that's not gonna happen. But like the op said I would hit up his eBay store and get something for free if not half price. You guys take pics all the time in name brand clothes and once you put them on the Internet they are free game. If he was a famous star he might have a leg to stand on but just a regular guy and with a modded Lexus ... Come on mane!!!!! Lol
And also he is charging to high for the bumper anyway. Doubt he has sold many. I would take it as a compliment and move on. Just think out of all the isx50 he came across on this site or google he picked yours that's saying something. Cause I have seen plenty with this bumper

Same thing happen to me. I never figured out if they were allowed to use it or not and forgot about it because I have much more important things to do. If I remember correctly they offered me 10 dollars off something. Smh

Yeah i dont see the big deal. I beleive since the car in the picture is your personal property and you took the picture your self it is your property and they are not to use it without your consent. I dont think you can sue them but you can have them remove it. Personally i dont think its a big deal. No ones gonna see it and think anything of it other then " man i want my car to look like that". I would still ask for something free as a curtesy for using your image.

It can be considered defamation in the sense that your car is being used to advertise a product that probably is a replica of what you have but thats a stretch. Kind of what they do when they use pictures of people without there consent to promote **** sites.

Seriously? If you took the picture you own it.

Tell the guy that he needs to pay you for it or remove it.

I was thinking the same thing. If OP's front lip is authentic and his vehicle is being used to advertise a replica, I would be upset.

You guys are killing me with the he needs to pay you stuff and defamation crimes. Lmao. So I guess that screen saver on you phones or CPU at home of some random hot chic should be a crime also. Lol and really defamation of authentic front lip is not a crime . This thread is full of good laughs and ccj22 good one about the pic of cars on your phone

It is a big deal, its called fraud. Lets say you run a car shop and did work to a show car, some guy rips the pic off the net of YOUR WORK and tries to pass it off as his own or selling a totally different product than whats on the car EVEN WITH your shop stickers on the windshield...

Guys running reps with BBS caps is also FRUAD...
