That is a good point. A better analogy would be posting photos of a nude that is found in many nude magazines then complaining that someone else posts pics of the same girl.

Excpet the stripes on her g-string are a different color.

I ordered Coop with the 16" all season tire option to get through winter. I plan to get a set of 17" wheels in the spring for the summer/track season with a good set of performance tires. PGT had a set of wheels at one time that I absolutely LOVE that looked to match the Dark GRay pretty well. A 5-spoke design, but I can't remember the brand right now.

If PGT doesn't get too upset

I also plan to black-out the headlight surrounds.

this is the very reason I've stopped posted pics on NAM of late. also - it's not what others say and do about the pics that's at issue here.

he did admit it and the whole issue here IS that he copied your look

I mean he is a wannabe and you are the O R I G I N A L....A real playa dont sweat the other playas they just win the game.

...this guy wouldnt bother me one bit if he copied me.....cuz he copied me....and I am only playing for an audience of one! me!

That's the route I went with mine, although exactly which of the two options I chose depends largely on the viewer's aesthetics...

But, I'm fairly certain I won't see another one like it, even with pics of it on the Aesthetic Creations website:

I get that you are worked up that I didn't say I decided on the same stripe scheme as you. Unfortunately I gave you credit from the get go and flat out said that seeing your stripes caused me to change mine to the same scheme. Not sure why that pisses you off, but it apparently does. It seems to bother penguin even more.

The only other alternative is that you think a variant of the widely used viper stripes is somehow earth shattering and that someone else with the same look is infringing on some super special proprietary design.

Or maybe you are just upset that you spent so much time coming up with a design that I came up with pretty easily . . . well . . . except the stripe colors were switched originally.

I did. About 7 times in this thread. I'll now make it 8 (or whatever): I admit that I like his ride. I admire it so much. I wanted the same thing. Except for the interior, the length of the stripes and the scoop.

Is 8 enough for you guys? Need 9? 10? 23?

Do you? Do you really? I had it first!!!!

Your car (don't know when - it could look different now):

My car:

haha I'm just messing around - this thread is hilarious and I can't believe I missed it so far. Minimusprime, your car is awesome.

PGT - your car is really awesome. If I had your creativity mine wouldn't just be stock with the aero kit. I think we all know which model your style looks better on. coughR53cough.
