The only thing I can't seem to answer is if it messes up any of the factory clear-coating on the wheels when you peel it off. Does anyone know the answer to that question?

I've sprayed it on my hood and peeled it off 30 min later. Seems like everything is fine.

I called American Muscle yesterday and they said that the reason they don't carry HID conversion kits are because they are starting to be outlawed as a modification. If it comes from a factory then it is fine, but a modification is not allowed.

Anyone ever heard of this?

Too many cars have factory HIDs these days, so it's hard for cops to keep up with which ones are supposed to have em, and which aren't.
