Looking to get blackouts for my headlights and taillights from www.lmperformance.com and they sell to brands GT Styling and RK Sport. Is one better than the other or are they just the same? They should look the same, but is there a difference between them?

they're probably both the same thing.. I have them for my HL's and TL's but I kept gettin' pulled over so I pulled em' off

Just curious, what law were you breaking with them on? Shit, I don't want to waste my money to have police problems.

im not sure about the technicalities.. if you give me a minute i'll try find one of my many auto/law pamphlets they gave me
edit: cant find em'.. But here its illegal to cover any lights with any tinted material.. You can only use clears..
You might want to phone the local PD and inquire about it.. laws change quite a bit from area to area

you gotta check your local jurisdiction cause thats not a federal law, it varies from state to state.

A longshot I know, but does anyone know if there are any issues with these blackouts in the UK? I want to get some for my 87's rear lights cos they look sweet!

no idea.. im Michigan its illegal to drive with headlight blackouts at night.. fine during the day, but not at night.. taillight blackouts however are legal at any time.. go figure.

I've thought about headlight blackouts to smoothe the look of my car...
can someone photoshop it with a black out and blackouts?? [/potential badass]

Was it hard to use the spraypaint?

Someone said something about getting them stolen, but where I work I always check out all the Fbodies that come in the lot, and this guy had some on his that were solid. One was hanging like half off the side, but he drove it there and everything and the wind didn't knock it off, so a thief would have to take the time to get them off, hopefully you'll come out of the store or whatever before they finish.
