That's an excellent idea!
No chance of getting "harassed" by LEO's and still have the "coolness" at the show's, cruisin', parades, etc.

If you like them, put them on!
Personally, I think they're pretty nice looking done right

And although we all know about opinions and thier equivalent, provided for your edification, is her "opinion" on the matter written for the Orlando PD in 1999:

Unfortunately, I don't have the time at the moment to do further research into her cites or other case law since that time.

Here's the Florida State statute:

http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/...0316.2397.html

The key here is the bolded section.

For a while, locals were dinging the ricer crowd for minor violations, in an effort to not only stop some of thier activities, but to gather intel.

The "neons" you see reflecting from under the cars, were deemed to be "illegal" under the above statute and provided PC for the stop.

Not sure where it's at nowdays?

As long as your coves are "coves" anyone would have to really stretch thier imagination (and the law) to make it illegal.

I would NOT place red/blue lights in the front other than the turn signals.
Too easy to violate the statute.
