Default Need a state inspection center in the DFW area?

The problem the front of my car is all tinted out, markers, fog+turns, and the headlights are smoked. Apparently that is a no go in Texas inspections, so what I'm looking for is someone who inspects cars that will "turn the other way" when it comes to this. My taillights are not tinted so no problem there. Any help/references would be awesome! Also, is you're not willing to display their name, please PM any info. I know how it all works


Edit: Or! if any one has any fog lights for sale cheap! so I can just switch them out, inspect it, and put them back!

Or find a pal that'll let you take the bumper/headlights off his car for you to pass. I got some stock fogs you could borrow, perhaps purchase.

Where is you is located?

Borrow sounds awesome! I live in grapevine, so not terribly far from you.

Cats were not my problem. If you have no cats you need to have a tuner shut off the rear o2's. You will not pass other wise. The inspector must plug the car in to check the monitors, its not something like tinted lights where they just look the other way.
