driving to cali soon, what precautions should i take?
So im taking my gf to cali soon, and can only take the vette...registered in az, lt's, orx, front drl blackouts, rear taillight blackouts, limo tint. We dont have a front liscense plate law here, and no one cares about tint because of the sun.
i almost want to cancel the trip. I dont have the extra money for a rental car, and im paranoid of just being pulled over for no reason, and the cop getting me for everything i have done to the car, or even trying to enforce the front plate law there when it's not required here. Now that I hear about mobile smog tests, i get paranoid they'll just take my car for being illegally modified and crushing it or impouding it or some outlandish punishment.

I drove from Vegas to Anaheim last weekend with no front lp, dark tint and just long tubes and Y pipe, I didn't get bothered at all, went about 75- 80 the whole time. just cruise and no one will bother you

Like was said, there are plenty of people that LIVE here with the same mods. Just dont drive like a dick, and you should be just fine. In the 6 years ive live in this city, with loud Trans Ams, weve gotten one ticket for no plate. My wife got pulled over for speeding, in her lopey *** WS.6 (cam/LTs/Hi Flows/LM1) car, and she just got ticketed for speeding.. I got pulled for expired registration with my cammed LTs/ORY/Bullet catback, 4k stall WS.6 a few times, and didnt get ticketed for anything.. Even with an N2O bottle between my back seats. LOL

Same story here, have been pulled over for many different moving violations and never been cited for front plate / tinted windows. Most a cop has said is something like, you need to get those windows taken care of, after he gave me a speeding ticket.
Even got a parking ticket a couple weeks ago for overnight parking, when the cop could have written me up for a more expensive front plate missing ticket.
Smog law bs shouldn't apply to out of state vehicles right? That's why peeps register them out of state if they can. Maybe it's the same with all the laws?
Be careful on the freeways tho, seems the CHP is out in force looking for speeders in this broke *** state.

Don't worry at all, even if a cop stops you for tinted windows just say your from out of state and they'll probably just let you go. Just like everyone says don't drive like a maniac and you should be fine.

lol i love the documentation stuff. I wouldnt be surprised. Aight, sounds good. If the weather's good I'll ride with the windows down, other than that, slow lane and speed limit. The drive out there is rather boring tho from az. I did it once before to alameda and its alot of...well...nothing, until you get into the hilly parts of cali.
