How would you feel if you found out someone was copying everything, including the colors, you'd done to your car? Back story: I began customizing my vehicle in stages. I did searches to make sure it would be different and even picked colors others didn't think would go together. After a month or two, people started saying they'd seen me but I hadn't acknowledged them or that they'd seen my car in places I hadn't been (like a family member seeing my car at a random hotel). Each time, they've described my car at whatever stage it's currently in. As of now, the owner has done every single change to the exterior that I have done shortly after I've done it. Im not sure about tge interior but, due to car shows, i wouldnt be surprised. How would you feel?

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Do something ugly to it and see if they copy..LOL

Like those autozone fender vents.. hopefully they go and cut up their fender and put some in.. while you can just peel yours off.

Even if your Camaro is custom most non car people cant tell. Ive customized cars and trucks for years and people say "I saw you the other day or I saw a car just like yours "Come to find out they are not even the same type, color, etc. of car or truck. Its Red. It must of been you.

I am endlessly amused by people (sorry, women in particular) who get BENT out of shape because some B I T C H is wearing the SAME blouse/ skirt/ shoes as her! The nerve!

99.45% of the time it is entirely unintentional. I still have no idea what the other 0.55% of the time it is... but, no matter what, it is amusing to see the angry, blustery, indignation over the affront.

I'd sue them for copycating. Maybe you could borrow the lawyers John Boehner is using to sue the President.

This. No better form of flattery than imitation. I wouldn't be upset one bit.

Lois Lerner's attorney would be better.
