Seeing as they used to be a factory option on the old boss and mach 1 mustangs as well as the firebirds of the 80's what would have changed to make them illegal on todays cars?

:i con_shrug:
Most all states require that a vehicle have two outside mirrors to add stuff to or over a rear glass, I don't know that Md. is one of them .... just something to check.
