The Valentis are not DOT or road legal in the US as far as I know. If the letters DOT are not stamped into them somewhere, they are probably not legal. Valentis do not have proper reflectors in them, a mandatory safety item required in all vehicles. The smoked black ones are even worse. I have heard of insurance companies denying claims from clients who have altered OEM safety equipment such as blackening out their tails and then getting rear ended, as you have been. You must drive a safe car on the road and not endanger those behind you. The insurance inspectors are trained to look at safety equipment, as well as damage.
Please be careful. I hope your car is mended soon.

I hear you, and as soon as the insurance stuff started, I thought about that. Luckily, it was broad daylight and I wasn't even on the brakes when I got hit.
Plus, the insurance company is fixing my car without even looking at it. Its weird.
