Anyway, its just a quick header swap.
Still sucks to know that even though you aren't breaking any laws and your car is by no means looks or sounds like a race car, you can still get hassled.
You keep saying "no means looks or sounds like a race car" yet you have a body kit, wheels, lowered, and exhaust. I'm not judging you as I most of these modifications myself, but my car definitely doesn't look or sound like a stock BRZ. I'm sure it comes off to many as exactly what they consider a race car. Just because you're not covered in stickers and a carbon fiber hood doesn't make you exempt from that general opinion.

Good luck with the ticket. Be happy the officer didn't give you a referee ticket and just pay the small fix-it fines. If you try and fight it you'll probably lose and they'll be pulling you over and giving you a referee ticket for now on.
