Plus those Mustangs appear to have standalone reflectors at the bottom of the bumper. Something the Camaro doesn't have (export model has them)

All my lights are blacked out and yes illegal. Some states are picky about it, luckily mine is not.

I agree, I am not a fan of blacked out tailights i mean if it impairs my ability to see you then you are just stupid for doing it.

uhm, yeah... illegal.
But that's the least of your worries when someone doesn't notice you slowing and ass ends your car. Maybe that would be why it's illegal, eh ? Looks cool, but really... does that make it a good idea ?

did not know it was illegal, and did not think it was that big of a deal. i see smoked lights that i can see fine all the time...almost seems as like if you can't see this smoked light, then a better prescription might be needed in your glasses...but seriously if i would have thought for one sec that it was illegal..then...aww hell i woulda gotten them anyway... |

Enforcement is local but the laws are federal: http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regul...spx?reg=393.11 . State laws can attempt to clairify laws about placement, reflectivity etc. but aren't allowed to be any more strict or different than the DOT regulations. Cars are by nature too portable (duh) to have 50 different sets of regulations for such things. The problem is there are some officers who aren't aware of the actual laws or may abuse their power to keep us Hot Rod Hoodlums in line (damn kids).
And BTW, a dark car with no high visability reflectors looks good in a car show but is a hazard at night or any low light situation both driving or parked. It's called public safety for a reason... |

Im sorry but if youre using the excuse that you rear end someone bc they have tinted taillights (especially during the day) you just dont know how to drive. Its a car. a 3800lbs piece of machinery. kinda hard to miss unless youre not paying attention. I agree that if you rear end someone you are pretty much 99% at fault. you are either going too fast or following too close.
As for having illegal stuff on your car, if a cop wants to bust you he will find a reason plain and simple. If its not your car then its your driving. |
