phantom grill is it illegal in WA

Blue_tener · 11-02-2007, 07:13 PM

so one day at school i was board and was looking around and saw this

http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=46.37.030

and i think the phantom grill i have been lookin at is illegal. anyone want to help me out on that one.

the state says and i quote (3) No additional lamp, reflective device, or other motor vehicle equipment shall be added which impairs the effectiveness of this standard. ( the lights )

96blazer · 11-02-2007, 07:16 PM

It's pretty simple, they are illegal. They are illegal in lots of states.

primerdnoma · 11-02-2007, 07:21 PM

Yep, they're illegal in PA too, but I don't think they really inforce it. Technically those taillight covers with the chevy symbols and shit like that are illegal here too. Anything that blocks any light = illegal.

bladehines · 11-02-2007, 07:27 PM

i would say if it effects the output of the light greatly! it would be illegal

and if any cop gave you a ticket for it he is just being a dick!

i have headlight covers and my lights look dark as hell without them on, but the covers become pretty clear like when the lights are on at night....

Blue_tener · 11-03-2007, 07:17 PM

thats what it flat comes down to. Cops being a dick about things. I got pulled over for having a loud truck. The cop says that any mods to the exhaust is illegal. so i ask him if he is pullin over all the 07 08 trucks right off the lot with dual aftermarket exhaust. low and behold he writes me a ticket that gets thrown out in court.

oneofdime · 11-03-2007, 08:14 PM

how can you find out if its illegal in your state? i tried a few google searches and couldnt come up with the answer, also curious of a few other laws.

Blue_tener · 11-03-2007, 08:40 PM

what state

there is a guy here in washington with a bagged s10 with a phantom grille, don't think he ever gets crap for it, its not something the cops are going to come over you over unless they have nothing to do at all and are sucky cops like stated already. i don't have mud flaps and i have taillight covers on my chevy, never had any problems.

Blue_tener · 11-06-2007, 03:06 AM

you dont have to have mud flaps if the mid point on your wheels higher then your fender. o by the way i grew up in orting do you know steven vansanten hes a soon to be cop

yeah can't not as in i can not not go to work. we can def get the back end laid out and if i can get the wife to allow me to buy spindles maybe all the way around. i wish i just had some sd arms i would be so happy. i think i can also cut the cup off the bottom cup and just weld the circle plate to the stock control arms so that should get me down a couple more inches (hopefully)

hollywood · 11-19-2007, 01:31 AM
