OK so I currently live in hawaii they are big butt holes out here when it comes to modifying an auto. say you wanted to add some bling to your ride as a coworker of mine did adding 22's to a montero sport. the next day he was issued a ticket for not haveing a reconsturcted title permit. By the law out here on Oahu any modifications to you car from adding exhaust to adding or lowering the suspension you have to take it to get it inspected. These guys break out rulers check allignment really picky about the whole process. If you have any stickers on your windows at all except for parking permits they will not pass you unless you tear them off.

To my point just wondering how hard up the law is out in cali, because I have no fender flares and my tires stick out about 5 inches all the way around. I have never had a problem out here Luck or maybe My rig looks like one of the locals dont no. but want is the going rate for no flares/mud flaps???

I'm just a little confused by your thinking. In order that I may have some form of understanding, please make a short list of 150 or so laws that do not really apply to you. Make a notation on any of those that the rest of us can selectively respect.

the way it's worded is vague enough that if a cop wants to be a dick, he can, so it depends on the area a lot.
