    if it's not true than it should true..underglow is "just plain gay"


    in all seriousness though undercarriage neon is illegal if the bulbs are visible...it depends on the officer , the time of day, the weather, the officers wife..etc...

    IMO, it follows along the lines of changing the vehicals oem clearence.

    There's many things that are "illegal". It just depends when you get pulled over.

    Technically, stickers and advertisments on vehicals are also illegal as it distracts the person view.....

    If you want to get right down to it putting anything ricey on your car is illigal. But you wouldn't know it by looking at the cars in calgary.
    You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

    That is true, now that I think of it I have seen a a few cars with ground effect lights, I was thinking of installing some on my car, but I don't think it would look to good on it anyway.

    advertisements and everything else u see on the road is technically illegal. falls under the category of stunting. so that's right, wiping out on a bike near a major street is considered stunting

    Yeah, theres no way in hell that i'm going to get underglow for my car, it was just a thought, i think instead of wasting my money on underglow, i'm gonna just buy a better intake, and exhaust.. I though stunting was just when you pulled some mad shit on the roads.

    You can get a stunting ticket for screeching your tires. I don’t know what else constitutes 'stunting' though.

    squealing your tires sometimes will net you a ticket, donuts, drifting, and anything else that just isn't normally recommended to be done on a city street will net you a stunting ticket.

    I dont think you will ever see a car pulled over for having advertisements on it, what about Courtesy cars, they are loaded with Decals for the Dealership. no problem there.

    Whenever a cop wants to give you a ticket, but can't categorize it under anything else, they'll turn to the infamous "stunting" ticket which seems to include everything from accelerating too fast, screeching tires, splashing people intentionally... etc :p
