Default Black Outs

Getting ready to buy blackouts and was hoping to get opinions regarding the 6 piece set from Mid America and the 9 piece set from Exotic Corvette.


Thanks

Most states they are illegal, I think it just depends on whether or not the cop has a chip on his shoulder I haven't had any problems yet knock on wood

Well I just spoke with Dan and ordered a set. I am on vacation next week and was worried I wouldn't get them in time but he said he would process the order and ship them right away. So it looks like I will be putting those on along with the other goodies my wife bought from MA.

Of course I wasn't supposed to know she bought something from MA but the phone rang the other night and the caller ID was showing Mid America Motors.................I answered and the guy asked for my wife. I handed her the phone, smiled and said Mid America for you.

Seems her and Scott have become good friends.............. wait a minute! I better be getting something!
