Hahaha. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Maybe you can tell the crazy lady that the tape isn't blocking any light! You want a pic of how mine look without tape so you can show her they're the same? Seriously this is going too far. Everyone hating on mods all the time.

Btw, those are nice covers. You could open em up and actually paint that part black, but then she might tell you to remove the paint rofl.

Can you go to a different place? If all else fails, just peel em off and put back on after you pass inspection.

jeez....u guys don't know that song???

it's on the west virginia's ads...

folk country song...hehehehe

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Chorus:
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

All my mem’ries, gather ’round her
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye

Chorus

I hear her voice, in the mornin’ hours she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin’ down the road I get the feeling’
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Chorus times 2

A couple years back the DMV failed me for my stock gas cap. the guy gave me **** about it was too loose and "oh someone must have switch yours cap with another cap at a gas pump".

So I ordered a new cap from Majestic Honda, but I wiped the outside of the old cap off with soapy water and left it there. And when I went back with the order receipt, I magically passed with the same cap.


Man they really worked me that time. They also bitched about my steel pedals, oem headbulbs "too blue", and windshield wipers too dull. And to top it off, the mother****er sloppily stuck that ugly sticker onto my windshield. There's a huge *** airbubble larger than the white square (w/ the year in it)


This was the DMV in Wayne/Totowa, next to that Fountains of Wayne place

If it's just the headlight covers they're cracking you on, then you should keep on going to the DMV. The DMV is a great place to learn the condition of your car, aside from having to bend over at the dealership.

At a p.i.c., you'll be in and out in 30 minutes and is handy for those with heavily modded cars. Not saying that the gas station guys don't do they're work, just that they can be more lenient
