To the best of my knowledge they are only unlawful if they are tinted or discolored to the point where they change the basic color(s) of the original license plate or obscure the plate in some fashion so that it cannot be read. The best thing to do in order to be certain is to contact your local PD or DMV office and ask.

Are clear license plate covers illegal in Kansas?
Actually, smoke colored license plate covers are illegal in every state in the U.S. The reason is because every state has made it legal for certain equipment to be able to scan the license plate and the smoke colored covers block the equipment from scanning the plate. Due to this, the smoke colored covers are illegal. Just because you have not been stopped by a cop or forced to remove one, does not mean that it is legal in your state. In other words, take the cover off and if you are going to court on one in your state, then that answers your question..Added: Also, since ALL states have distinctive license plates insofar as recognizable colors, graphics, and artwork are concerned, license plate covers of ANY color are prohibited, except clear of course.
