LoL, wow. Im glad that you guys are lookin out like this...seeing as Im trying to help FoToHo find a WRX. Though I doubt she will have a problem like this as she will be dealing with the dealership.

About the window tint... couldn't the pics w/o tint but w/ dealer plates be from when the car was new off the lot, and then the tint was added later and showed up in later pics? It's like saying a pic of one's car when stock/new must be of a different car because in more recent pictures one has Rotas.-Chris
the kid is photchoped in, look at the hand the kid is holding out, the guy couldnt crop the pixels close enought so he left some color from what ever picture it was from. Notice how inbetween the kids finger nad palm is a slight different color then what is in the background? Zoom in on photoshop and it looks even more drastic.
GOod eye who ever called it.
SOmeone should call sac country sheriefs to have a look see.
Smells fishy...

Nah, it's chopped. Theres a hard edge around the kid and like Dre said there's an area around his hand that seems to have the old backround that was smudged in. Plus the shadowing is wrong. Where's the tree's shadow?

At first glance that kid looks fake as hell but why? Even without scrolling down to where it was suggested I thought it was fake when i first saw the link.
If i get bored tomorrow i may send an email to that area's Sheriff dept. Which department do you think it would fall into? Police maybe like DCPD? which county is that for Sheriff if you went that route?
