Some Bronx graffiti artists are angry that their mural was used without their permission in a car commercial featuring Jennifer Lopez.

The ad for the Fiat Cabrio has drawn criticism because some scenes where Lopez is supposedly driving through her old neighborhood in the Bronx were actually shot in Los Angeles.

The ad features a mural that says "I love the Bronx." The New York Post says the mural is by the graffiti artists TATS Cru.
