thats a two part answer. yes it is illegal in CA and yes police can give you a ticket for it. What aerotect said is true and also releases them from liability, in case you get pulled over and try to blame them for your illegal modification. That being said i've had my tails smoked dark for more almost 2 years now and i have gotten no tickets, and i drive a lot through many cities for work.

Does anyone know where to get those black OEM wheels from? I am refering to the ones in the cardomain link.

That all blacked out RX looks nice.
