Apparently in Missouri clearing your corners isn't legal?

[lonnie]

I've had mine cleared for little over 3yrs now and I've been stopped a few times in that time frame and haven't had an issue with the corners being cleared.

You can't get a moving violation if you're not driving, but you can definately get an equipment violation citation when your car is parked if it is on a public road. Although its pretty rare, only times I've seen it happen is if someone is missing taillight lenses or if your license plate is not visible.

Don't know why its not a sticky in the how to. But their you are.

Im in St.Louis too bud, I never have problems with the cleared corners. I have the UFO underglow kit too, and Ive been stopped once for it. He said just make sure I turn them off. I get my ass busted for the tint and no license plate on the front more than anything. Oh, and I got pulled over for showing off at a stop light. If you have air ride, dont lay it out at a stoplight.

Don't be a puss.. some states let you run underglow. Check the laws (in the book.. not some bitch at a desk). Oznium has a discussion board about it, look at it.

In Vegas (Nevada as a whole I'd assume) I know a guy who ran blue underglow consistently without a problem (until someone stole and burned his car lol)

thanks thats how i thought just checkin

Someone had stated that it didnt make sense when some cars come factory, and I beleive that those factory cars are most likely imports which have different rules since the cars may be built elsewhere. All domestics shoudl haev some sort of reflector on the front and rear. Take a look at the next domestic an import you see, most domestics you will see that reflector and most imports will not see, of course unless they have been modified, and I am sure there may be an exception.

Most people don't know things like this, but MOST FEDERAL laws concerning motor vehicles is approached with the 3" rule.

Maybe true where you are, but here we can get cited for having a car on our own property that either has no tags or expired tags. You will receive a ticket in the mail for not registering your car and also for not having it inspected. These are cars that you may not even be driving. This state keeps tabs on who has what, where and when.

ditto, my HOA states that the must be registered and tagged or cant even be sitting out in the road/parking spots. They can have them towed

All cars have one amber reflector per side visible from the side and one red reflector per side visible from the rear. This is regardless of if it's an import or domestic. Those are just the FMVSS rules.

what about those places with rusted out non mobile early 60's cars. you're telling me that they have to pay registration on every vehicle whether it's used or not? i have a hard time swallowing that.

Check some of the cars. I promise you will see that most imports do not have a colored reflector in the front at least. weather in headlight or just a non lit. But every domestic does.

Now that may have changed in the past couple years, as I have been seeing some imports with the reflectors, but all domestics I have seen have them, and not so much imports. And i thought that was due to becasue of the country they were built in and the requirements. Just what I have seen.

I think its different if they are non operational, junked or scrapped, I know I was reffering to residential areas.

that picture you referenced is the JDM version... see the side markers in front of the doors...

here you can see the amber in the headlights on the new one


and here is an older bugeye

[DansGen1Alero]

well like i said there are some exceptions, but the 08 in the headlight, to me that looks like it could just be the color of the bulb reflecting off chrome assembly, and not so much an actual reflector

[natedawg9640]

lol... nope.. she's a reflector

[DansGen1Alero]

well i will take your word for it, and it seems that newer cars there may be more imports with them. when I was real big into noticing stuff like that is when i saw a lot of imports without them.....99-04/05ish

Once a car is junked, it is technically supposed to go to scrap. This is not just residential areas though, this is a computer automated system that prints you a ticket if you don't register or inspect your car. I got a "fix-it ticket" this year from the state because I did not have my car inspected yet. I do not have to go to court, I just had to have the inspection station sign my paper and when my case does go to court, the officer will drop it as it was fixed. This state is funky and has some of the strangest rules I've heard of.
You don't really drive down the streets here and see many cars just sitting in people's front yards or in their driveways unused.

[natedawg9640]

well that's silly.
