[RANT] WTF? Masked taillights?!?!!

[neutralizer]

So today I was driving home and saw this car in front of me, didn't pay attention to the model, but it was in like all black, body, rims, even taillight. I was like how cool is that. So I'm like following behind. And he suddenly brakes and I was like SH!T. Fvcking brake lights don't show up because the taillights are so dark, it's like impossible to see the brake lights light up unless you look carefully or drive under a bridge. In board daylight, it doesn't up at all. Bastard.

Anyone else see something like this?

 

[Viperoni]

Only from stupid people.

 

[suse920]

Not really but then again i look at the car itself, not just the brake light.

 

[eLiu]

is that even legal?

 

[imported_Tick]

No.

That's what happens when you spray paint your tailights... total rice. Manufacturers and the aftermarket do make smoked lenses that look black but light up nice.

It's something that commonly escapes the typical ricer, just like common sense. I get upset when they don't get pulled over and then cops pull me over for having a body kit even though my car has no body kit, it's FACTORY!!

They can pull you over for having a body kit?

They can use any old BS they want... ie "You looked like you were going pretty fast there."

Should have ran into it, pretty sure they would be at fault, no way in hell is that legal.

 

[Crappopotamus]

how cool is that.

i have the same problem with altezzas. in daylight, they might as well not even turn on. makes me want to hit them on purpose.
