Nothing like getting Blinglighted, craiglisted or ebay'd. Happened to me a while back. My car was for sale and I didn't even know it. I contacted the seller and had them remove the pic.

You'd think they'd learn by now after having so many complaints that start with photos they got from this site.

Wow! I don't come on here for one day and I miss all this ! Big thanks to Tim for getting the picture removed !Big thanks to VforVIBE for posting this and yes, I have Silver Stars in the fog lights and low and high beams. There's no way in hell I would ever put anything called "Bling Lights" on my Vibe .I am not surprised. I had the same thing happen with my Sunfire Sedan, although that guy refused to take the picture down. It honestly doesn't bother me that much. I do post the pictures in multiple places online, so that's the risk I take I guess.How do I go about watermarking my pictures?

You can watermark your pics in Photoshop. If you're like me and don't have photoshop, Paint has a text tool, though it's not very big text. Done with Photoshop (when I had it)Done with "Paint" Text Tool (it's all I have now, but it's better than nothing)

I know what watermarking is, I just wasn't sure how to do it. I will have to sit down and give it a go this weekend. Thanks for the help ladies !

Also check out Picasa from Google. It's free. I used it to watermark my pics.Get it @ http://picasa.google.com

picasa also has the option for watermarks in bulk. you can export a group of photos and have them all watermarked so you dont have to do it individualy.

I actually created a Flickr account last night and sent BlingLights a polite message asking them to remove the pictures of my vehicle from Flickr and any other site they have them on. We'll see if I get any sort of response...

I really don't care too much about it. That's the risk you take when posting anything online. The only part that makes me mad is that I don't have their crappy product/s on my Vibe.
