I got pulled over on the 22nd at about 1130 pm by a green camaro cop. He was pretty cool. He thought I had aftermarket sidemarkers and aftermarket exhaust which I did not and I explained that too him. He then told me that he hadnt seen these types of cars before and didnt know what was legal on them. He just told me I should take my spoiler off(which I did). So I ended up getting no ticket or even a warning.

I had a Cusco spoiler on that night not the stock one and thats why I think he pulled me over. It looked a little much. Thats all. He wouldnt have pulled me over if I had on my stock wing.

I thought you never mounted that thing? It's perfectly legal to have an aftermarket exhaust here. What you do need is an affidavit for your modifications and paperwork from the reconstructed vehicle folks stating that no recon permit is required. Some of the police can be real jerks about it.

It's your fartpipe! Hehehe! Let me guess, were you wearing your red cap when that happened? Either way, ditch that cap when you go for a drive, it's only going to cause trouble. I think it's a requirement to have the paperwork even though you don't get a recon sticker. Two places I went to for a safety check asked for the papers as well, so it must be true.
