Check this link out. Apparently in Denver, it is not illegal. The paint goes on clear.

Speeding, fine. Burnouts, the occasional stoplight stand-on-it, just part of owning a vette. But running redlights is stupid, and tolls? man, that's just low rent.

Loosen the tie. This is all in fun. Nothing says I am running red lights or tolls. My Vette is YELLOW with NO MUFFLERS. I think that draws enough attention.

In fact I would rather sit at the light & let the people check out the car and I get a thumbs-up OR the old retired citizens roll up their windows and make a face OR the lawyers talking on their cell phones can't hear their conversation and get pissed
