I have smoked ones coming and will be documenting the transformation on graphite metallic...

Hopefully, we have no issues with them on cars here in Ontario.

Technically yes, but you *could* still run smoked if you didn't mind being harassed every now and again by the cops haha

I sold my clear ones to Canada several years ago because IMHO they did not fit to Satin Schwartz Metallic 951. They fit nicely to white and other light colours. I am going to use smoked rear ones and i am under development process on front ones, there will be air intake scoops replacing the front side markers.
