This seems to be there typical MO history. I'm glad they've been called out on it. Still no response from them in any way. I'm sure they never thought their indisgression would become this well publicized.

Hopefully this goes beyond this board and effects there sales and then they will finally realize what they did was wrong. Problem is do they care. At least this thread is letting people know who came up with the original boost overlay and directing them to the right place to get it. This is a very good thing for the new members that might not know what is going on.
Glad to see this is a sticky now :thumbsup:

Wow, it's a sticky. Now everyone can see this thread.:banana:
Here's a new development to the story. Dana gave me the word that Eric, the owner of the Mod Fords site, was interested in hearing what's been going on with LFP. I just emailed him the link to this post.
I will let you know what his response is.

That's great news Ray! Keep the heat on :beer:
I have one of your overlays best money I spent on the car:banana::bowdown:..next would have to be the shifter gaskets :rockon:
I wonder who that was !!! :cuss: :mj:
I guess the truth always comes out... Over, and over again...
NO LFP FOR ME !!!
I am still owed money 6+ years after a defective part was returned to LFP for a refund (which he promised would be done!)... Karma is a bitch !!!

You a Graphic Designer and Me a Photog both have to protect our work and lucky for us the law is on our side.
Someone using your photos can carry up to a 150k fine per photo and case used for copyright violations. No less than $750 and no more than $30,000 or up to $150k if so deemed by a Judge.
Stick em' with that if nothing else, infact I think they would puke in their StarBucks if they found out you were taking them down for Copyright violation.
Make screenshots, save the html, get a 3rd party official to view and save the site with your photo used and see if any of the metadata is still intact in the photo to prove that it was taken with your camera equipment.
If you have not yet sent out for a copyright of your photos you can still do so.
Here is some info about copyrights.

I appreciate the advice and the link. I have already been checking into this already. Its nice to hear from a fellow creative person who has researched this subject. I'll keep you posted on how this whole thing plays out. LFP has not heard the last from me yet.

F%#* LFP!!! You have my support!!! I was going to buy an intercooler tank from them. I know its not much, but they lost this sale. After reading this post and hearing not only your story but others, I will never buy from them. It's one thing to rip off someone's idea, but to then make it the cheapest piece of shit ever... thats another! Plus to then have the balls to charge $13.00 for shipping!! WTF!!! Thank you Ray and thank you SVTP for this post! Keep it going.
OMFG.... I just read this whole thread for the first time. I can not stop smiling at this thread. lol I mean not at the fact that LFP ripped Hilton, but that LFP finally got his and got the boot.
:beer:
I hear LFP is working on copying another product too right now. :nono:
Lil C*** sucker :fm:

I just recently came across LFP, but hadn't bought anything from them yet. Now I won't, for the same reason I won't buy UPR products.
I'm glad that I came across this thread.

Add Granatelli to that list. They sit on MM's website every day and copy/paste and when a new product comes out, buy it up, ship it to their 5 year olds in China, and sell it for less. Then when you have an issue, they give you MM's phone number for help.

Awesome thread, just read it front to back.
Message heeded, 'stay away from LFP'.

Does anyone know what is happening with this by now? This is like a good book. I just read all 14 pages and now want to know how it ends. Keep posting.
Unfortunately the "final chapter" has yet to be written. Despite my communications to LFP, which have still gone unanswered, they don't seem too concerned about making this right.
As you read, they have been booted from this site and have raised a few eyebrows for their shady dealings on other sites as well.
I never would have guessed that LFP's unethical actions would have raised such overwhelming support for my plight. However I'm extreamely grateful for everyone of the 18,000+ views and hundreds of comments this thread has generated.
I have not given up yet, nor will I, until Mark removes MY pictures from his site and his instructions which he continues to use without my consent.
Thanks everyone for your comments and your continued interest in this situation.

Im sorry to hear of this , I ordered one from you long time ago but never installed it. I am going to convert my cobra to e85 by the end of the year so i will be needing one that reads higher boost levels 25 psi . I think ill be throwing 20 to 21 psi at it on the e85.:rockon: I still have the envelope you sent it in. jan 15, 2008 it was post marked. It is undamaged and i still have the instructions do you think i can trade it for the 03/04 cobra 25psi one? Even if i have to pay a bit extra. I can send the original envelope with it to prove it is yours, Please let me know.
