I admit to having the rice bug once and sporting Altezza's. But as much as I hate them now and many others, I hate more "The Man" for his stupid laws and getting his way. I am sure $650k hurts anyone but what's the point? If you don't conform to the freedom you conform to the system...and that's one thing I don't want to do....

I gotta say that they were smart though. Although ugly, who knows if they even liked them? They saw an import scene turning bad with Altezza conversions and capitalized on an easy product for themselves. Hell, I would have made them if I was given enough money, wouldn't use them, but I'd love to sell it to someone who does...

Does this action mean that cleared front diffusers with amber bulbs are not compliant with US regulations?

In most states, yes.

They are just much less noticeable when you put amber bulbs behind clear diffusers.

I can just see myself being pulled over for more harassment now.
