any illegal parts on your car?
 
as the topic says, is there anything on your car that would get you a ticket or even worse?

i have headlight bulbs that I am pretty sure aren't DOT approved and in traffic jams I often put my LCD on my dash and watch a movie, in plain view of everyone who would care to look

hustlelikem0fo 02-04-2005 10:19 PM

tint

jttegx 02-04-2005 10:30 PM

tint, headlights, and remote starter. it's actully illegal in MD to use ur remote starter. kind of messed up. you can buy it but not use it or you can be given a ticket for it. i still use it anyways.

I dont have amber turn signals. According to NYS, thats illegal.

NY is like the Nazi Germany of car modding.

Most door kits only support up to 300 pounds. The air pressure at 70 combined with the weight of the door is most likely going to make more than that. So open on the highway = scary and will break shocks.

TeLLy 02-10-2005 08:02 AM

I've become a hypocrite as of late, as I usually am first to extoll the legal and health benefits of keeping all your original safety equipment on and fastened...
- replaced steering wheel with an RSX wheel; technically not legal to be swapping a used (even if unopened) airbag into a car
- side SRS sensors removed from my old seats and just shoved into the back of my EP3 ones
- my clear plate covers are still technically illegal.
- H4 HID's are also technically illegal
- last summer I was pushing my luck with my drop...
- underbody neons, thankfully I've been pretty good about driving with them off lately

That's about it I think....

taz757 02-10-2005 08:22 AM

Springs, intake, exhaust, wheels.

Supposedly in Virginia, any mod done to the car that is not factory stock or factory option is considered illegal.

jdmferio 02-10-2005 08:44 AM

intake, exhaust, lowered, stereo, limo tint. san diego cops are a$$ holes

XTREME2K2CIVIC 02-10-2005 09:38 AM

HID's, MOMO Steering Wheel(No SRS), thats about it I think...

wrussi 02-10-2005 10:12 AM

civic2k2 02-10-2005 10:36 AM

Illegal Mods:
Tint
Catless Up and Downpipes
Loud exhaust (I love my HKS)

Thats it for now trying to keep her legal.

realitycheck 02-10-2005 12:07 PM
