Stripes on back window

Is it illegal to have translucent (red) stripes run down your back window in NM or other states? Has anyone seen this done? Would a typical custom window graphics shop be able to do this?

I'll be having my windows tinted, but I'm thinking it'd be fun to have the red sport stripes continue off the black roof, down the back window, to meet the stripes on the boot.

I don't see why it would be illegal. Most restrictions would be for lights or visibility. If you can't see out your rear window, you have to have side mirrors. The only way to be 100% sure though is to stop by your local law enforcement office and ask.

This might be of interest to you. Here is a back window completely filled with a Union Jack.

I'm planning on having a custom graphic put on my back window, if I can get it done so I can see through it from inside.

Cool. I'll check with some locals.

I like the roof!

And that road sign pic in your gallery is on the Dragon?! Might be worth going there just to have my pic taken with it.
