Pulled over for mods and which/why?
 
Just want an idea of what people have been pulled over for and why.
Exhaust, too low, tint, or just cause the car looks fast lol.
Be great to get location, reason, and result.

I have been pulled over for loud exhaust, but texas plates let me get away scott-free. But it takes A REALLY loud setup to draw attention.

Back in my S2000 HellaFlush days, I would get pulled over all the time. Mostly for "not coming to a complete stop at stop signs", which was complete BS. Not once did I ever get pulled over again when the car was changed up. Which I'm glad I did for obvious reasons.

1. In San Diego or Irvine tints can get you yanked just about anytime
2. In Huntington Beach / Balboa tail lights
3. In Santa Ana and Corona, nothing they love car culture there! Just don't park illegally and always stop fully at stop signs.
4. In any part of South Orange County all the way to Oceanside, DWB.

Irvine is uppity about their shit. I got my exhaust done by Big B and had the scariest time driving home lol. Had to go through Irvine where cops get on your case for anything.

I've never been pulled over in any of the peformance cars I've owned.

94 300zx TT pushing 358whp. Full exhaust. 1/2 inch off the group. Really dark tint.

03 wrx full 3 inch turboback exhaust, FMIC, and HKS BOV.

It usually takes something very minor; excelerating too quickly with loud exhaust, having a light out, not having your license plate on your front bumper, not coming to a complete stop, registration, etc. They will try to find some way to pull you over. I have not once been pulled over in my performance cars but I have been pulled over for doing 75 on the freeway, which is BS. I had my little brother in the front seat and he had his seat reclined because he was sleeping and I was in the carpool lane so he prob tried pulling me over for that.

But once you're modded. They might find any reason to pull you over.

Drive Safe:)

Irvine. First day of high school. Cop stands at the corner of the red light handing out J-Walking tickets.

Irvine. Where you need to call 2 additional squad cars as backup to give a biker (bicycle, NOT MOTORcycle) a ticket for not wearing a helmet.

I've been pulled over in heavy traffic during rush hour for my tint.

I never get pulled over, but the majority of people I know get pulled over for front tint and missing front plates. Exhausts only seem to get pulled over if they are ridiculously loud or emitting lots of smoke.

So basically, keep it quiet and don't do front tint and mount those plates while on the road and you will have far less issues.

Reminds me when I had my 300zx and trying to get it smogged.

inspector: -Lifts up hood- "Is this aftermarket" pointing at oil filler cap
Me: "Yeah."
Inspector: "You know I can fail you for that?"
Me: "Its a oil filler cap.. You open it to fill your oil.." -opens cap to show him what a dumbass he is-
