Can you point me to one that is done rice-y?

Maybe it's me, but I typically associate rice with rattlecan mufflers, huge wing spoilers, underglow, and badly done lambo doors.

I'm having a hard time seeing how tinting out one's tail-lights would be considered rice. But hey, if you can show me one that proves me wrong, the more power to you.


Not sure how tint/overlays that can be easily removed kills the value of a car

 

As touched on in this and past threads, if there is a 1,000 feet rule in Texas (and I think there is) one should consider what that means. Let’s say the average car length is 13.5 feet. Allowing for a few feet between cars, that means tail lights would have to be still visible the equivalent of 64 car lengths ahead during the day. That would be a tall order for most smoked tail lights. So not only is safety a factor here, but I would expect any insurance company to deny a rear-end collision claim made by anyone with this mod.

 

To me, this looks TERRIBLE..........

 

Only at night

 

i dont think the above g35 looks ricey. looks clean smooth and sleek like i said before. its not solid black

 

Let me know how it looks when your 35 or older.

 

if youre 35 or older then anything can easily upset you and im not surprised. now that i know that i can let this go. thanks

 

What he meant to say was: if you're 35 or older you make more reasonable decisions with your car and keep it classy.

If anyone calls being concerned with safety being easily upset, then they must belong in the group that thinks whatever I do to my car looks cool even if I ignore safety...

Plenty of times I've been behind cars with tinted tail lights that you could barely see when they brake in front of you...it's not cool.

 

Speaking of front plates in TX, whats the fine for a missing front plate? Is it different in SA vesus Dallas?

I was thinking of getting those balck and white custom TX plates if its the same price as a ticket.

 

yeah well I don't have front plates but got pulled over by a state trooper on the way to Austin. Got pulled over at waco and the fine was $75 dollars. It was fix it or ticket thing. I just paid the fine because it doesn't go on my record.


It is correct sir. The fine are different by cities some cities charged a **** load for no front plate.

 

I don't think the G35 looks that bad either.

Safety is a whole different issue. This is just FYI for those of us who are in Cali - the general rule of thumb is 1,000 ft.

V C Section 24600 Taillamps

However, I have heard of people being cited under a different code.

 

I believe your referenced link says that tail lights for vehicles manufactured after January 1, 1969 shall be plainly visible from all distances within 1,000 feet to the rear. Of course, that would cover all Infinitis.

 

Thanks Corrected.

 

You are correct, the law is 1,000 feet in Texas...

TEX TN. CODE ANN. § 547.322 : Texas Statutes - Section 547.322: TAILLAMPS REQUIRED

 

What percent is that. It looks gorgeous
