What's illegal in Ontario/Toronto?

Well, I have about $18000 now for my new car By the end of April, of all goes well, I should have around $21000 in my account.

Obviously when I get it, I'm gonna mod it up, cuz I'm CHINESE! hah, j/k :P
Anyway, what's illegal to mod, and what's safe to mod? Thanks!

By the way, I found this article which might be somewhat interesting to you all: http://www.thestar.ca/NASApp/cs/Cont...=1035780013978

your question is too broad. if u encounter ******* cops then any mod is illegal in their eyes

but watch out for mufflers cuz it is the first thing attract cop's attention then bodykit is next because cops thing bodykit = street racer
then undergrow neons is next, dont turn them on when your car is in motion.
then make sure u dont slam your car too low and if your wheels touch the fenders when turning then u are screwed with a heavy fine ticket

i am going for sleeper look and never get harassed by cops. just my 3 cents

Right. $10000 on a new car, $1000 on mods, but look at the list! (I'm referring to the TorStar article)
[q]
His Civic boasts M3-style mirrors, a Team Xenon body kit, Neuspeed lowering springs, Tanabe exhaust, Altezza (Japanese domestic market) tail-lights, upgraded stereo and colour-coordinated interior. "I make sure everything on it is legal."

The car was a $10,000 birthday gift, and he's sunk about $1,000 into upgrades. Hosein works for his dad, who is a mechanic.
[/q]

Awefully big list of mods for $1000.

my friends who have underbody neon kits say that they can only use them in parking lots...

you can't drive with them even if the bulb is not visible... no other lights than your headlights, taillights, foglights and other stock lights...

those neon license plates are illegal as well
