Have never been pulled over. I didn't go for the "blacked out" look. Just a smoke over the red portion. It all depends on where you live. In San Diego, police don't trip on that stuff unless they wanna pull you over regardless. Good luck.

if you do a search for it there should be a few threads on it. If my memory serves me correctly there were some fitment issues on certain brands.
I believe they have to be installed a certain way or they will come out crooked. Good luck

I wonder how much this is enforced nowadays. I see a 7 at my office with its tails just about blacked out, and a MB that's just about completely black.

They never get hassled.

They enforce it on how old you look.
