I do not think it is illegal to do this. I will try to get a picture it looks very "clean"
I thought that you actually spray something over the tail lights (meaning hard to take off)
Window tints were an example just to make it easier to understand.
If there are really computer cut covering material available, then actually I would
want one for myself!!
Please let me know about it.

In my humble opinion, black wheels make the area where the wheels go look like there's a hole there....especially from a straight-on side view. Other angles look better.
For black wheels, you absolutely need chrome lips to contrast the hole effect. The shiny chrome brings the wheels back into focus.

It's a matter of preference. Is that is what you are saying???
