damn andrew.. that does really look like your car. its like EXACTLY the same angle and everything...with the exception of the , sti fogs, sti pink ^ as stated above. But overall, i am assuming that there really is nothing you can do about it..... infact they could just clone a white wrx within a couple of sec..onds.. and say it is the one. but w/e, do w/e u feel like.

It's your car, but you're better off getting a lawyer for this instead of doing this yourself.
For those who don't know, Andrew is pointing out that the Willwood ad took a picture of "HIS" car(NOT ANYONE ELSE'S), photoshopped it, and put it on an ad. This, without any authorization, is a big problem, especially in the marketting and photography industry.

one thing i gotta say is that if thats the same front mount intercooler, which it looks identical, blitz, then i know thats my car and they photoshopped it in because that blitz fmic that htey have is polished the same as my car has. Blitz fmic dosent come wiht polished fmic's and another thing is, you lose your fog lights if you add that fmic on, and clearly that looks like a photoshopped foglight underneath that cover. another thing is that how much people really have a liberal front lip, which btw is a pretty rare lip on a white bug eye, i've only seen a hand ful of them in cali and the mainland, with the same identical looking fmic, with the same grille, just without the sti emblem, and the same side strakes and sti lettering on the door and the same rims, and the same color lug nuts just faded out to look like its moving? and yes i just noticed the cf sidemarker having the same highlight of lighting also.

Well unless you have your pictures copyrighted the are in the public domain so they can use them. I think you're screwed no matter if it is your car or not. It sure looks like it is.
