They aren’t legal in other states AFAIK, but I’ve seen a few and if you google you can find a bunch of vendors selling them. I wonder whether it actually keeps the owner from getting a ticket
Did not know that, thanks

I guess they’re a marginal improvement appearance wise, though they only really work on something like the Tesla that has a big flat face on the bumper. I think they’d look goofy on any of my cars.

Agree that it’s wild that states don’t offer different shapes for more money, though maybe it’s just too logistically complex to be worth it.

Imagine spending 212k plus markup and ending up with a grey PDK with black wheels.
