ARTICLE ONE: You have the Right to buy high-quality, reliable aftermarket performance and specialty parts, accessories and styling options.
ARTICLE TWO: You have the Right to use high-quality aftermarket parts and know that your new car warranty claims will be honored. In fact, your vehicle dealer may not reject a warranty claim simply because an aftermarket product is present. A warranty denial under such circumstances may be proper only if an aftermarket part caused the failure being claimed.
ARTICLE THREE: You have the Right to install and use emissions-legal aftermarket performance parts without incurring hassles and onerous procedures during state vehicle emissions inspections.
ARTICLE FOUR: You have the Right to actively oppose any proposed (or existing) laws or regulations that will reduce your freedom to use aftermarket automotive parts and service or will curtail your ability to take part in the automotive hobbies of your choice.
ARTICLE FIVE: You have the Right to patronize independent retail stores and shops for vehicle parts and service. The U.S. aftermarket offers the world's finest selection of performance and specialty parts, accessories and styling options. These aftermarket products satisfy the most discriminating customers seeking personalized vehicles for today's lifestyle.

has to due with the car warr, but should still help, i know aem and dc have carb-oe stickers, so there 50 state legal, obx says carb-ex, but id just ask for the carb# from them, if they say its for off road use, point out that on the product package or site that it says its carb-oe

uhhh that dont make sense why would he get a ticket for not having original eqiupment he has the right to put any part he wants as longas they are carb-exempt, most of his mod has the carp-oe stickers so they are 50-state legal...the cop was just being a prick

yea well thats the risk you take when modifying your car. oh well. i hear LA is the worst out of all areas in the US. If you look in most aftermarket parts ads there is small print about legality issues. Most of those ghey blue bulbs are not street legal, as well as a lot of HID kits. Just because BMW, Mercedes, etc uses them doesnt make it legal, theyre systems have been approved. These make-shift ebay HID kits are not only sh!tty, but not road legal. It sucks, but thats the way it goes. It just depends on where you are and what kind of cop you're dealing with. I had a cop tell me once that my fog lights were "aimed upwards at an illegal angle". riiiight. I said he could give me a ticket but i'd take it and him to court to see the law in person. Needless to say, I was given a warning to re-adjsut the angle, which I later did. Im not saying to argue with cops if you get pulled over for stupid crap like that, cause in most cases you'll still get ticketed, if not wrose. Just know what's supposed to be on your car and what's not and what areas you're driving in police-wise.

Let's get this straight... if they're "mod" parts, they're not OE. I didn't say he deserved the ticket. I just said that he got the tickets because the parts weren't "supposed" to be there. If they were OE (original equipment,) they would have come with the car - therefore not being mods, and he wouldn't have gotten hasseled.
There is no such thing as a "carp-oe" sticker. However, this is a carb-exempt sticker. I have the exemption stickers under my hood, and the cards for my lights are in my glove compartment. No officer is gonna pull the wool over my eyes.
