Nice black look. But aren't reflectors needed in your state? Don't be surprised if police stops at your car

I didn't think it was an issue anywhere because there are so many cars that come with none from the manufacturer... but i try to stay legal as much as possible so I looked it up. MA law states:

CHAPTER 90. MOTOR VEHICLES AND AIRCRAFT

Chapter 90: Section 7. Brakes, braking systems, mufflers, horns, lights, audible warning systems, and other equipment; compliance with safety standards; stickers and emblems

Every commercial motor vehicle or trailer weighing, with its load, more than twelve thousand pounds, shall, in addition to such rear light, be equipped with a red reflector of a type complying with such minimum standards for construction and performance as the registrar may prescribe, so placed at the rear of such vehicle as to reflect rays of light thrown upon such reflector from behind.

What did you use to black out the turn signals on the sides...also, what about the reflectors...did you just yank them out.

Well if its like in my state, this is for heavy trucks. There should be a big chapter on car equipment. But anyway.

And wich car don't come with reflector? Here in Canada, there is none. Except for old muscle cars and old JDM, wich is normal
