You guys really need to let the "rice" comment go... you are pointing out features that originated on american cars, LOL.
Id fight that ticket in court! LED taillights are legal in all fifty states as long as they do not flash. Now, his were sequential, which is a problem. My wife is a police officer and they got a memo in the department about LED lighting in accordance with federal and state laws back when more and more were showing up as OEM. Different color lighting is left to individual state laws. In Ohio, the lights in that custom vehicle would be legal. There are loopholes in some states which claim that a vehicle may not be modified in any way, which would trump that law.
Who was the first to go with LED lighting? Anyone know? Think it was the "ricers"? Nope...the municipalities first went with LED lighting in major cities on their public transportation buses to help keep maintenance costs down, since LEDs can last much, much longer than standard incandescent bulbs. But then, I dont know where the buses were made, so I suppose that could very well be "rice". LOL

sport compacts are for h.s. case closed, proof in point: i thought an srt4 was far enough removed from the h.s. age group as no one could afford insurance. i sold it after 6 months due to the fact that every fricken h.s. kid with an integra or civic would rev their coffee can cars and want to race. Talk about getting old in a hurry. If you are married and over the age of 24, you need to follow a new scene. I hope that is why you are here.
