Hey all.
I got bored new years eve.
And started drinking about 12 as you do new years. then my mate who just bought a ebxr6 came over and we started cleaning it up, removing stickers (ralliart, drive it like you stole it, fusion, ect) haha, then he said he didnt want his protectors, so i painted them black and i reckon they look cool.
Just wondering about the legality of them, i dont drive at night dusk or dawn with them on of course, or rainy days, but yea, is it legal or what?
