so what if i get a new bumper and its primed and i cant afford to paint it right away. They are gonna kill me huh? And i once saw a police car with a chipping roof, guess he don't abide by the law does he?

 

Guys, guys, guys. Dino and I both know the laws here. I know it may seem stupid but a law is a law. If you don't like it, get out of California.

 

stick a fork in this thread it's done

 

Sir, Law enforcement can do whatever they deemed to be appropriate. You can try to throw the book at an officer and discover the results for doing so.

If you have a new primered bumper, please do not put it on unless you can afford the paint plus the labor cost. You car is an FD, not a bucket. But then again, if you want to be teh rice and get pulled over, that is your prerogative.

 

Spoken like a true wiseman.

 

Dont believe FUMU. he got kicked out of the force for being I have over 20 years of law enforcement experience. So its up to you on who wanna believe.

 

i agree that's why u very rarely see porsches, mercedes' etc. with primered ****... and if you are lucky enough to that's cuz they're on the way to the body shop.

ok now stick a fork in it.

 

Now, now, Wacky,

Just because you have been in trouble with the law during the last 20 years, does not make you an expert.

 

indeed...

 

DJDINO = vida loca

and yes, I heard about ya.

 

tell you something I had this problem before..... I got a ticket right in front of my house ( it was sunday morning 8am...) out of all the bloody cars that were parked on the street mine looked very eye catching for the detective and his trainee....black w/primered white bumper.
The love letter that I got from these two was a fix up ticket....they could at least let me wake up.

In reality it all depends on the police officer.... 90.1% of the time they have nothing else to do.

.....And of course someone has to pay for road fixing here in Cali.

welp fellas and wellas,
It's Legal until you get caught! by that time it's illegal!
the illegal aliens did it this way!

 

i would never put anything on my car without painting it, i was just using it as an example. My old 240 back in the highschool days was completly primed from front to back with exposed steel showing in several places. I live in San Diego, so its like the heart of ticket-ville. I once got pulled over for no front plate and the policeman didnt seem to care it wasnt painted. So i guess its just who stops you and what mood he/she is in.

 

they got a ticket for having an unlicensed face

 

I work in law enforcement and a DMV investigator is in an office right next to mine. He says you all are stupid and wasting your time in this topic.

It's not illegal to repaint your car a different color.

 

 

i repainted some of my int. stuff and got a ticket for it, that and my CF hood was not painted, it was a $4:20 fine

 

Hmmm.... a troll with not posts. How convenient.

 

5 pages of worthless nothing...... GAAAWWWDDDDD!!!!!!

 

mod, make it a stincky!

You were suppose to superglue the cap on, so they WON'T get stolen.... duhhhh... smart people these days..
