Somebody copying your style...
What would you think if someone that lives just down the same street as you ends up with the same hood and gt500 front end? Would you mind? Normally I wouldn't care... I get idea's on this website and there are numerous people that have gt500 front ends on here also. But at the same time we all live hundreds of miles apart, if not more! So I'm a little weirded out that my neighbor, that I have to drive by everyday has the exact same front end and hood as me. Out of the hundreds of options you need to get the same as me? It's more funny than anything... but if he starts blacking out his lights and gets the same rims then that's pretty pathetic imo. lol Anyways I probably wrote this in the wrong section, but I just needed to vent!

Just remember, J came after K. He who is first is not always best.

Dude, I hear ya. I don't think they were "copying" per say, but my family got a green Sebring convertible, a few weeks later so did my neighbors down the street. I can't remember all of what happened like that, but when they ended up with the same pink flamingo a few days after us, it was a little strange... lol

I just don't really even know the guy, he yelled at me once for spinning my tires around a corner when it was wet and I've only talked to him a couple times after that. But I guess it's a compliment like you said!!

Your car is gorgeous its not much of surprise that your neighbor wants to look like it.
Especially if your neighbor isn't on a site like this to get any other ideas.
My fiance has 2 friends that have been best friends since middle school. Anyway, the first guy buys a silver '00 GT, a few months later the 2nd friend bought a '03 yellow GT. At first the 1st friend was pissed, but then he started coping all the mods the 2nd friend started doing to his yellow GT. So now the 1st friend is the copy cat.
