I got to see the clear corners, front & rear, last friday. They really looked great. Did anyone ever determine if the rears are legal on the street?

In Calif. they are illegal. I have talked to a number of CHIPS and all the the same. There has to be a reflector on the rears

Could you get away with a reflector on the license plate holder? I'm sure there must be one available from J.C. Whitney. , maybe red dots on mud flaps? Seriously thou, the roof lite has a reflector, would that count.
(I sure want those tails, but I'm not into being stopped and harrassed by some rookie cop)

FORDSALES et al:

Jim you are right that the clear corners are illegal in California. This is due to state and Federal DOT laws.

Enough said??????

 

So the white ones don't have DOT stamped on them since they are obviously illegal in all the states.
