Illegal in the USA but probably not in other parts of the world like Dubai where GSPower is from.

Tint, lowered cars, loud stereos, DVDs that play with the car in drive, turbos, superchargers, loud exhaust, no front plate, and many other subjects commonly discussed on CL are illegal in many places. I see no issue addressing his question.

As far as I know it is not possible. If possible it probably requires replacing the ECM and/or gauge cluster.

i heard that even here in Dubai is illegal, but if rolled back the odometer, i'll do it for myself, i don't want to sell my gs, and who would.
about the tint, we are allowed only 30%, and the others are illegal.
