I think the law has remained unchanged, but it looks like you can make any modification to your car and still drive it any time, anywhere. In the olden days, your tires could extend outside your fenders if conditions were dry, but if it was raining you were SURE to get stopped. Today, LOTS of tires extend outside fenders and that's okay. I can spot illegal headlights a mile away. Or more.

But then......you can also cruise in the passing lane at 50 mph, remove and discard your turn signal equipment and follow cars by less than one car length at 70 mph. America doesn't really like regulations, and our motto is "Me First."
