Do smog certificates from Test Only Look diff than normal smog?

Like the title says. It would be great if someone could pm me with a copy of a test only smog certificate. Block out the personal info, i just need to get an idea of what the cert looks like. Thanks!

Smog certs are now sent to the DMV electronically. The paper certificates are mainly for your personal files, as they are virtually useless.

You do know...that were you to be caught...and this is a public forum...Thats a federal offense right?

Anyways, yeah, you can do it either electronically, or through mail. You could just go to a smog shop, and be legal...

High Emitter Profile - The majority of vehicles directed to Test-Only stations are selected by application of the High Emitter Profile (HEP), which identifies the vehicles most likely to fail their Smog Checks. The High Emitter Profile (HEP) uses data from several different sources. Some of it comes from the state Vehicle Identification Database (VID), which collects data from each Smog Check performed in California. The VID is used by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), BAR, and other government agencies. In addition, general vehicle data such as make, model-year, vehicle miles traveled, and engine size help define the HEP.

This information is used to determine which vehicles are most likely to fail their Smog Checks, especially at Gross Polluter levels--at least two times the emissions level allowed for a particular vehicle. No single factor identifies a vehicle for a Smog Check to be done at a Test-Only station. The data is weighted and vehicles selected using this computer profiling of vehicles most likely to fail their Smog Check. DCA/BAR has gradually increased the number of vehicles directed to Test-Only stations to meet the air quality improvement goals of the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP is a blueprint outlining the methods California will use to meet federal air quality standards.
