    Front skid plate

    WTF??? Somebody in Miami is claiming to be making and selling the cosmetic front skid plates on ebay???

    This ebay listing just popped up ,....selling the cosmetic front skid plate and they're using MY pic I took last week and posted on our forum! It's the 3rd pic in this ebay listing.

    Using someone else's pic found on ebay is against the rules.
    Not sure if using a pic found on the internet is against the rules or not, but I'll be reporting it anyway and see what ebay says.

    Did you read his ad. At the bottom he said if he used your pics and you dont like it, he will remove them immediately.

    Yes, but I wanted to find out who he/she was etc before I asked that it be removed and/or reported it.

    Looks like you're not the only one getting jacked Sue... looks like Gary's VX is being used to hock t-shirts now. More importantly, didn't someone here design that logo? Seems sketchy to me.

    I believe the 2nd Photo is the Proton of "JohnnyApollo" from his www.WildToys.com website.

    And the full size pic is definitely WormGod's (the one that was on our home page "most viewed"pic)

    That is cyrks vx logo.. I contacted him a couple years ago about using it for the VX calendar and he didn't mind.. But someone is making profit off of this.. A big no no for a professional graphic artist

    Hi VX KAT. I'm lito3737. I sent you an e mail about the post of your pic on ebay. I really don't want to make anyone mad....just i think your VX looks really good with the skid plate installed. In my opinion your VX is a perfect example for the plate. If you have any concern please send me an e mail and I remove it immediately.
    Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.

    No problem, it's just the picture of the black skid plate (not my VX). I just bought it from another member, and you'll note it has a few silver spikes along the top. Doubt you're making any with the spikes (LOL) so wouldn't want anybody buying one from you to think they come that way. I'm having them removed before I mount mine since they don't go with my style.
    You may want to remove that pic for that reason.

    Oh, and I'm not reporting anything to ebay.

    Greg... Gary.... it's all the same I guess.

    They could have at least done a better Photochop mask. I think the tires are flat. :|

    Wow, my VX is on the international viewing pages, what a honor.

    Yes, I am still making them but kind of waiting for retirement which is soon to have the time. VXKat has kindly loaned me her rear skid plate with the tone hitch cutout (that isn't enough) to use as a plug. And yes, the will be cheaper then what the other outfit is selling them for.
