Some take it as a complement, some take it as an act of thievery, "they stole my idea"..

If there is one thing that I've learned over the years is this, the minute you unveil your "art piece", someone will follow suit with your idea/s...

To me, if only one person duplicated the same idea as mine, I feel that I inspired another...

Hell, Albeit since you posted some pics of the specific mods you were concerned about being duplicated by another Camaro owner, they are now in the works of being duplicated numerous times over...

The only true way to keep your mods unique to you and no one else is to never reveal the work you've done... But ask yourself this question, what's the point if you're not going to share...

.02...

By the way, looks good...

Point taken...even though it took awhile to get to the point......lol

Sucks, but no big deal on most of it.

But..he copied the custom painted "Fuses"? Now that's just stupid.

franknbeans · 03-22-2010, 10:13 PM

Shit dude, how about running a very profitable company in the Pittsburgh area... then you look at a competitors site and they copied the the look and feel of your own site.

yeah. it sucks, but there's nothing you can do about it.

This was the only part that really made me think.....geez dude you wanna marry my wife's mother (they do look alike)? The rest of the car is pretty common so not such a big deal.

'Life's too short to sweat the small stuff'...I would be so flattered that someone thought so much of my idea that they would want it on their Camaro too...

sparaz · 03-23-2010, 12:00 AM

the deal is to just keep upgrading, soup up your engine and show them that not only does yours look sweet but its got juice under the hood. Keep pushing the limits of creativity and see what you can do to make it more and more unique.

sparaz · 03-23-2010, 12:00 AM

..Better yet, get some things custom made by a company where they cant duplicate it without a lot of work.

coolman · 03-23-2010, 12:03 AM

buy a lamborghini. That will show them who's the boss.
