Based on the comments, the cop and the judge were right.

I predict the G8 will hold its value, or even climb.

As for tail lights that need to be banned, I submit this cheap-looking rubbish. Ugliest lights ever.

Well, supposedly, from the comments, he was ticketed for his car looking like the one below (he posted pics of it in comments). He has the original lights, but spray painted them black. The comments seem to say there is a bit of bad reporting in the article.

i didn't read the article but how is the judge saying the G8 lights are illegal. if he painted over his lights his SOL. we got pulled for having headlight covers on here in broad daylight. got a 5 day warning which was complete BS. told the cop I could just take the covers off right now and we could all go home. no no I'm giving you this warning and you'll have to take the vehicle to police station and get inspected.
you're not allowed to cover your taillights at all.

want ot make sure this reads correctly my warning was for HEADLIGHT covers not taillight. tail lights are never allowed to be covereed that I know of.
