I know i Vic that if they were an accessory back when your car was born (eh) they are fine just dont bung em onto a nissan tiida or similar late model thingy cos vicroads will frown and you will have no credibility driving around the strips :lol:

if they're not illegal, then they should be - not only will they take the leg off a pedestrian, I reckon they look stupid

They're only 2-3 inches in length, and what are pedestrians doing walking into my car anyway :evil: :P

They were a common accessory in the early 60's. Have seen many 850's with them.

I think they are meant to look like eyelashes.

I'm not a fan either.

The law says no forward facing sharp metal objects, so a cop could pick on you if he was having a bad day.
