I believe anything done to the car that's not stock is illegal! You can't lower your car, you can't put a muffler on, you can't use different light bulbs, yadayadayada!

huh? its not illegal as long as you pass emmisions. whats the diff between a replacement exhaust from a muffler shop and a exhaust from the same place that is just a lil bigger? im glad you dont make the laws

and you can put a new muffler on, thats why muffler shops sell them. you can get new lights on (just not aftermarket HID's or different colors). idk about lowering

if ANY modding to your car was illegal then a cop could just roll up to a car show and write tickets as they left

Difference is that it's no longer OEM. Those are laws that cops and other people made up, not me. We probably wouldn't have that many laws if I was making them.

I believe I heard people get tickets for having a CAI. If it's not CARB approved, it's illegal!

^^ Not illegal as long as it conforms to noise and emission levels.

I live in the United States of America!!! haha

Man everyone modifies their cars and most of the people get away from it, but I wish you saw what's going on when 80-150 riced out cars get together on a parking lot of some store and then police comes.... if you get cought you are pretty much f&*ked! They will check from you light bulbs to height of your car, to your engine, your trunk, everything!!! They will find something aftermarket and will give you either a ticket or a fix it order!!

I wish cops could leave us alone when we get together!
