Blackouts in mail
Just received the blackouts from Gst20Psi (Thanks Greg) in the mail. Will be putting them on this weekend. I have a Black/Black C5 and the blackouts will definately look cool.
I live in California so how long do you all think before I get a ticket for having them on?

i've had mine on for months...i'm not really worried about being ticketed..you can only tell that blackouts are installed during the day..besides,once you hit the brakes, the lights shine right through..at night, you don't even know they are on the car.(same as having the brake depressed during daylight hours)...if the sunlight isn't enough to illuminate the rest of my car, removing blackouts won't help...know what i mean?? maybe i've got the wrong attitude ( 
) but i'm not stressin over the DH citation that this would be....they look way too cool anyway..

Should look good. Show us a picture when you install them.

The ticket would just be a fix-it ticket. Fix it, get it written off and put 'em back on again.
