Basically, I don't wanna come off as an *** when people ask to take pictures of my car. I don't wanna be like....you can find my car here and here on these websites, but you can't take pictures of it yourself. And if I do allow you to take pictures, give me some contact info on how to get a hold of you etc. It's a big compliment for someone to appreciate my work and my creativity, so for them to ask me to take pictures, I let them.

Rep Power: 0 Not to be a **** or anything, I think your car looks fine, not my style, but whatever... But did you ever think they might be taking pictures to make fun of it? I think there's a lot more people out "rice hunting" than there is people taking pictures of civics with lambo doors because they think they're cool.

Rep Power: 0 I'd never thought of that, I don't think so though... you might think it's rice and don't like that look of my car although you don't have a picture of your car.. as long as I get compliments I don't think they take pics of my car because they are "rice hunting" one of the guys that took a pic of my car even gave me his business card.. it's like a small time auto shop... but whatever, like I said as long as I get compliments on my ride..or they make fun of my ride... it's ok too.. but I do have confidence on how I dress my car up...

has nothing to do with my car, but if you want to know, it's a silver '02 si completely stock. When I bought it, I was planning on modding it but then I bought a house and I just don't have the disposable cash that I did before.

Rep Power: 273 Someone already mentioned the pic might be used for haters... they'll say "nice car" to your face and then take their camera back to their computer and be like "LOL, look what I just found, haha" and think they're the **** for trashing on your car.
But that's unlikely. So besides the theft issue, the only issue not mentioned is if you give permission and they take pictures and make a profit off of it, so you're getting ripped off. They might work for some company or magazine or who knows. They might even say they were given express permission to use the pic.
No real problem to you, but personally I'd be pissed if someone made money from pictures of my car and I didn't get a piece of it. There's no way to know ofcourse... maybe a friend will be like, "hey dude I just saw your car in some advertisement", and then you can't really prove anything.
