blackouts aren't legal for anything but "off road use" in any state, just depends how strictly the local law enforcement wants to enforce the law. I had blacked out tails on my DD for a year and was only bothered twice.

I've had blackouts on my 92 for years now, and never been hassled, either by cops or by annual state inspections. No front plate, either. If you don't drive to attract attention, you won't receive it.

exactly, the 2nd time i was bothered for it was because I was stopped for my license plate bulb being out, in which he wrote a 10-day fix-it-or-ticket for both.

Black outs are so Hideous. I don't understand peoples fascination with them. Ever seen a Ferrari Lambo or Porscha with them? It's no wonder people never compare vettes with the worlds best because people still mod them like civics. just my .02

That does look good in that pic. Well just the right tail light. But for the most part I think they are very tacky.

2 or 3 light coats + some clear isn't overly obvious and looks pretty good.
