i got pulled over yesterday on noriega and 30th! the cop kept going on about state refs and how my car can get impounded and would cost up to $10,000. he says my tint was too dark and my exhaust was too loud. made me pop my hood, luckily he didnt notice i didnt have a front license plate and luckily i still had my stock intake box. he goes on telling me that i cant have more than 3 mods on my car and that i exceeded it but he was trying to act smart and say i have an exhaust but not an intake and that if i add an intake, i would gain extra hp. wtf? hes telling me not to mod my car, now hes trying to pretend he knows hella ****. overall he gave me a fix it ticket instead.

damn that sucks Jp.... I would just pay off the ticket when it comes in mail especially if you dont think you can pass smog. Thats what most of us did when we got poped at 7th street a couple months back.

Most cars don't have supplimental red reflectors, so red tails are what makes those cars legal. However, if you notice, cars that come stock with non-red tails (such as the Lexus SUV's) have two red reflectors imbeded on their rear bumper.
So if you have tinted tails (like I do), just go to Pep Boys and buy a couple of those red reflector license plate nuts and mount them. You are THEN technically legal which is all you need to be to get that part of the ticket signed off. If you have S5 tails, just be careful NOT to also tint the red reflectors imbedded at the bottom of the tail light assembly so you remain legal. That is the only reason I put S5 tails on my S4 TurboVert.

I don't know how a cop can honestly give you a tinted tails ticket in an FD... It's so clear where they're painted around the edges and that the lens isn't tinted at all.

Also i use to own a mr2 and a cop stoped me when i was leaving starbucks and he told me he wanted to see my engine, so he rants on about how he knows sooo much about cars and he can spot out anything. Makes me get out the car, takes me infront of the car and pop my hood and *poof* i say "yea i run on a tire" he felt sooo stupid he gave me a fix it ticket on my exhuast and no front license plate lol
