so now we know that "Illegal windshield washer nozzle lights" are illegal but what about "windshield washer nozzle lights"....?

sorry couldn't resist.

Everytime I see that site I crave to leave this ****ing state. The stubidity of the california goverment is only topped by the stupidity of the people voting for laws like that...

Note: New law (27150.2 VC) does not require law enforcement to use sound level meters to test for excessive noise. Citation is based on officer's judgment. Cited violators may have testing done at smog referee stations or may be directed by the court to have testing done. Vehicles in violation must be brought into compliance. A fine may also be imposed.

Officers judgement??? they don't even know how to fire their own guns at a target...
There was a stabbing at my company on wednesday and other than the victim the only guy having to go to the hospital was a cop shooting himself with his own pepper spray...lord helps us all

I personally wouldn't spray paint it b/c in case you get ticketted, it would be hard to take it off where as the overlay (Bat's) are easier to take off.

I dug out some old pix.... ss is mine and Brick is Tom's.

Those are 6/10. I also have a lighter 3/10 tint. The great thing about Vinyl is, if you ever get tired of the look or just wanna change it out, just peel and replace it with something else . I personally, nor have I ever heard of anyone get busted for my Overlays. The reflectors shine through just fine. Plus, nowadays you see many cars with tinted or semi tinted tails and backup lights that appear to be smoked, but in actuallity, they come from the factory that way! Email me if you're interested in any of my Overlays .

Yup... I'm happy w/ overlays and strongly recommend it for ppl who want to have the tinted look. Blue Batmobile is the guy to talk to. He'll take care of you well.
