Default So Cal emissions help

So Im fairly new to California and was wondering if anyone knows any " Hotrod friendly" smog check shops in So Cal or other ideas to get around them. i've heard i should get a P.O. box in a no smog town but im not sure if it's worth the trouble. Pm me if any one knows anything or any place i don't.

Thanks

If you go to a pass or dont pay shop they are very lenient. I think it might depend on how much of a 'Hot Rod' you have.

Free bump for this guy. I picked up my replacement transmission (that works great) from his house. The trans was from the '00 Z28 that he ended up buying. He seems legit.
