Default FIREHAWK on EBAY

I think the seller is a member on here. I just dont it's right he is trying to sell a car saying that the "WU6 FIREHAWK" package was added to this vehicle...I feel that it is mis-leading

Well, the seller is completely honest about the "firehawk conversion" being that it was NOT done at SLP and can be considered a "clone"

But his pictures dont show the Firehawk stuff! so whats the point?

IMO, a firehawk conversion at a min. would have the hawk hood.
But I dont see anything firehawk related in the pics.

...oh wait, i think i see a firehawk sticker on the doors. Its hard to see though.

More of a crime the car all around seems like a hack job. I could be wrong, but I'd never buy a sports like listed like this one. And the pictures themselves arent that good.

I'll be interested to see what the car sells for over the next week.

I'm just saying that it is very mis-leading to someone who doesn't know about Hawks....

Yeah, I'm not sure how he can justify calling it an "option package."


Just say you tried to make it a firehawk clone and be done with it, joo know?

All I got to say that is NOT a firehawk. Putting stickers on the door and calling a firehawk is just wrong, my mom has a 2000 Firehawk, and it is a lot more than a freaking decal on the door. It looks like he has modified his LS1 T/A. And claiming a name for it. For crying out loud be proud that you have WS6, unless he cloned that as well. Just thought I would rant on a bit.

I took the time to report it to eBay. (Because the use of the word Firehawk is nothing more then getting people there for the wrong reasons)

For anyone else who would like to follow suit...

Reason for Report
Listing policy violations (improper keywords, outside links, excessive shipping, etc.)

Detailed Reason
Keyword spamming

Additional Information
Inappropriate or excessive use of terms not relevant to the item

If it were even CLOSE to a clone, I would just let it go. I just hate misrepresentation!

If you're gonna do a clone you should at least do it right. That guy is an idiot. He has a suncoast hood, C5 Z06's & he's calling it a Firehawk because he's got badges I think he bought too much into the slap the badge on and anything can be a Firehawk mentality that SLP established. lol!

If someone is seriously shopping for a Firehawk, it'd be their responsibility to know what a Firehawk really is.
