Hey guys I am moving back to San Diego after being out in Hawaii for the last 8 years looking forward to going to the Fr-s meets!! but last time I lived there I was not old enough to have a car yet and now I wonder how do you guys get away with modifying your cars at all?!? The laws are so strict out there any input is appreciated thank you! and I can't wait to meet the Fr-s crew in San Diego

Talked to some San Diego guys. Asked them the same question. They said unless the cop feels like being a real ****, people don't usually get in trouble.

That's good to know kinda the same way out here in Hawaii too

Just don't drive like a jack hole and they tend to leave you alone. So far, I haven't gotten any flack for the FRS. Most cops don't give it a second look. Keep the noise reasonable and drive like a reasonable person and you should be fine.

Yeah I don't have front license plate and cops aren't a **** to me. Different story when you're in la

You either swap parts back or "know a guy". It's easier to know a guy...just sayin'

Like the above said. I don't have a front plate and I have a 30% tint on all my windows but have yet to get a ticket for it as long as I don't drive like a douche.

And smog can be a pain in the ass but its either swap out your parts or pay the $100-$200 premium.

We have something kind of similar in Hawaii our "safety check" but I know guys out here too bad I don't know anyone in San Diego besides my grandparents and last I checked they weren't driving built Scions lol but I appreciate all the feedback guys gives me a better idea than googling does :/
