You sure those are visible at 1000 feet? Being that dark I highly doubt it.

Had to hop in on the tail lights. Those tail lights are likely to be BARELY visible at 500 feet. Now consider it should be twice the distance and PLAINLY visible. If you really believe those are legal you should ask Santa for a motor vehicle law book.

I dunno whats the deal, i think he asked for opinions didnt he? If you dont like advice on things dont be on the forum. Id rather avoid a ticket if i could, maybe its because i dont like paying any more money then is required to the government? Check the tail lights or not, just worth worrying about if they are that dark, someone may not see them clearly and ram the back of your car.
Car looks good otherwise, i think you would get a new front bumper to set it off, maybe the s4 bumper etc.

RE: fresh paint
If you cant take the critique, dont post and ask for it.
BUT, it's your ride. I'm sure we all have idiosyncrasies with our vehicles that may not appeal to others. That's what makes them our rides.
To assume that we are all a bunch of d-bags is quite amusing. Especially when an officer of the law chimes in on your tail lights. Frankly, that to me, is disrespectful.
