@@sirtheopolis5085 so at night it wouldn’t be any darker than the one they give you from factory I’d find that hard to believe as to read you have to see as well
I’m assuming this is just rage bait. The real answer in Illinois is: the plate has to be reflective, has to have the state name, has to say “the land of Lincoln” on it (seriously), and painting it would probably also get ticketed as obscurement because the plate is technically not visible anymore. The law doesn’t see a difference between this and covering the plate with paper. Ironically in my state the law has less penalties for not running a plate than it does for modifying one.
I'm pretty sure black paint is a "material that makes the plate difficult to see" from distances where it would be useful to be seen. Also, that black paint is the exact opposite of retroreflective, which is what all US license plates are for good reason.
I hope this is fake because i knew it illegal in at least most states, plus I found multiple sites online that said it illegal. So hopefully this is just a good troll
Definitely illegal. Even if you ignore the legibility of the numbers, you are covering the state identifier. The same plate number can exist in multiple states, so you need to be able to read the state. A cop not pulling you over for it doesn't mean it is legal.
It’s because they have special scanners in the vehicle and each state is different California. You’re not allowed to have one rules down here About those type of things are really strict
Why do you have to push it ??? Just to be a kid ??? I really don’t understand . Grow up be a man lead the pack for Christ sakes the little one are watching you
*technically* it most likely means that it has to be able to be read from 100 feet away as from every licensed pate law I’ve ever seen says the same thing. But I’m also not going to go on a 30 minute dive to find if that’s true or not in your state lol. Beautiful truck man and best of luck with it in the future!
So you painted the license plate, and left the hitch green? Mmmk
Yup don't get your point here
Wtf? Paint is covering the plate and it would be hard to make out from other angles and at night
This is the sort of thing I thing would be perfect for muscle cars for that reason, but not for trucks.
It looks about as good as the green hitch and clear tail lights
So darker paint wouldn’t be a material that makes it harder to see as there is day and night so technically it’s illegal
It doesn’t make it harder to see. It makes it harder to READ. But that’s different than seeing the plate

Paint is also a material...

I think all this guys videos are rage bait, plus every single thing done to his truck makes it look worse than stock
I believe the SCOTUS has ruled you do not have to have the motto shown.
Thx

Bro ran out of things to paint match so he did the license plate 😭

The fact that there's no sticker on that license plate indicating when it expires just tells me you're full of it
605 ILCS 10/27.2 disagrees with you. Nobody up to anything good obscures their plate.
"As you can see, we're at a distance (10 ft) and you can still read the plate." (Barely)
You "covered it and made it hard to read"

Where is ur tow hitch buddy?
Aren’t you the one complaining about over color match
That ugly trailer hitch connector😂
This is definitely not legal
Paint is material 😐
Cant read it, should have to paint digits white reflective.
Ppl get hyped about really stupid stuff. Too much free time is my theory....
Why do you have to push it ??? Just to be a kid ??? I really don’t understand . Grow up be a man lead the pack for Christ sakes the little one are watching you
Yes u can paint the plate bit it's the number u can't paint or touch. If I haven't got a ticket for it by now it cuz there not 100% sure on the law
there’s just something about the way you look at talk that pisses me off
I'm from the southern part of the state😂😂

No not at all 😂
I also hate Illinois, I’m in Wisconsin. That cool that it’s legal.
Bro telling more truth than congress rn 😂
Don't drive here in NYC with that lol
The teal is looking pretty nice
Another reason IL is stupid
