Now, if I only had an exhaust or intake, then its not too bad to go back to stock to have the ref smog it. The more mods you have, the more hassle it is.

well for those who said you want be pulled over for stock CBE you are wrong.
I have twice been pulled over for exhaust and been asked to pop my hood both times even though i was not speeding or anything major, one was only for exhaust and one was for no front plate.
lesson is you can be pulled over for anything even if you are 100% stock the main reason is what all we drive.....

Yep, I was pulled over for driving the speed limit on 680 in Pleasanton. Cop said my car looked like a car used for street racing. Since then I have removed the big wing and put on a small wing. Hopefully this keeps the fuzz of my back.

Yeah I'm pretty much over the dp now (well atleast until I'm not broke and out of college). I can't afford getting pulled over and going through all these hoops until Big Brother gets his money while wasting my time.

lol its like a roller coaster of emotions! From an optomistic buy to a pessimistic night listening to all these stories. I'll wait it out before I put my helix back on the market (or on my car )

hahaha I know I know... I will let it sit in the garage for a week or two and one day I will be doing nothing and most likely install it out of boredom. Then I'll come back here a month later posting my whole story about my run in with the law and how I'm going to court and paying hundreds in fines. I'm going to have to learn the hard way knowing myself.
edit: btw nice looking car you got there
