New 2005 Smog Check Laws
I got this from b15sentra.net: Link
Until January 1, 2005, private passenger vehicles registered in urbanized areas of California are required to submit a smog certificate every other year at the time of vehicle registration; vehicles four model years old or newer are exempt, and their owners pay a $6 annual smog-abatement fee instead.
Beginning January 1, 2005, vehicles six model years old or newer will be exempt from the smog-check requirement and will be assessed a $12 annual smog-abatement fee. The additional revenue will fund the Moyer Program, which subsidizes emission-reduction programs for high-polluting diesel engines such as locomotives, ships, large trucks, and agricultural equipment. The goal of the program is laudable, but the Auto Club opposed the proposal because charging motorists who drive newer vehicles to clean up highly polluting industrial diesel engines violates the state's constitution.
Also effective January 1, 2005, vehicles four years old or newer will be exempt from the change-of-ownership smog-check requirement and its attendant fee. Instead, their owners will be assessed an additional $8 transfer fee. This change will increase state revenues without increasing overall costs for motorists. Revenues will help the Bureau of Automotive Repair pay for the costs of administering the Smog Check program. The Auto Club did not oppose this change.

I think im gonna start charging ppl who are 3 years younger or older than I $1.00 for everytime they talk to me so i can get new underwear, cuz the pollutants on them are unbearable.
Effective right now!

Rep Power: 351 If you get pulled over and they look under the hood and you have a different engine (could even be same type) and not have the sticker then you could get in some DEEP ish. But essentially, just dont let on that its a different engine. Be careful showing it off.

easier to boost and get away with it now 
Also if you arent provoking them they wont look under your hood.
Our civics are great just to much hassel to avoid smog and getting caught doing something is likely to happen by some asshat cop. I know a place to get smogged if you have a turbo but you must have a cat because for them smoging you without a cat they are putting themselves at risk.
Just another way state wants to earn money though.
I'm getting a new car next year so don't have to worry at all.
