If there is no limit in SC and there is a limit of not above the shoulders in another state. Here in Oklahoma its nothing above eye level which includes the mirrors. what happens if you cross the state line coulda LEOticket you for an unsafe vehicle?

Yea they are comfortable. When I was on my way to Maryland, I talked to Punisher and talked to him about my apes. He said I shouldn't be messed with since I was registered in another state.
