Just don't expect to use it on the road after that... it's illegal to have more than a certain percentage of the car reflective (don't know the percentage offhand).

That won't pass inspection right? If you do that to your Z, you'll have to make it a show car only.

illegal here in the States. You are not allowed to have any big portion of the car chrome unless it's the bumper i believe.
