Hey guys
finally grew the balls to start playing around with my car, ive debadged it and pulled the spoiler off and next i wanna blacken the tail lights
Is it illegal? or is it aloud to a certain point?
also with taking the spoiler off i only have the 2 rear brake lights, do i need 3? like every other car.

Cheers
im sure ill have many other questions regarding my car.

Tinting tail lights is iilegal in all states as far as I know. That and its almost impossible to do without them looking cheap and nasty. Simply buy some SS tail lights, they are tinted from factory.

Yes you need a 3rd eyelevel brake light, I got one that sticks to the inside of the rear window and wired it into the existing connecter in the boot where the factory eye level brake light is in non spoilered cars.

Yeah no worries, ill see how i go with the lights. might get some SS ones. so the light has to go at the top of the window? should be easy to rig up and the only reason i wanted rim skins is because the rim sticks out further and there are alot of impatient drivers at round abouts, so just an insurance thing. not saying im a perfect driver but there is alot of people like that

I stuck mine at the bottom, right over the hump in the parcel shelf.
