None yet, but we will see. I never got stopped for my snowplow that I took for 5000 miles, a lot of freeway too. I know the aero mods kinda make the car look a bit like ricer style and those guys get treated quite differently so lets see how it goes.

well there is a difference between a roof height spoiler...and a boat tail that makes the vehicle 3-5 feet longer. At least I would assume there would be in the eyes of the law.
