oh! speaking of amber, is it ok if I have those clear side markers? I know they come amber from the factory but it's not something thats really noticeable..
did you pass on the first try?

and thanks for the advice!! Hopefully I can pass and finally drive my car again...
I had clear side markers on at the time of the inspection. Yup i remember they checked my tint too so good thing you re-did it. I was running a exhaust w/ test pipe and no silencer. no problems

i passed too

had tein flex, not slammed but not quite stock height. i had clear sidemarkers as well but it wasn't an issue. I also rolled in with my dual invidias, and it wasn't a problem. the only thing i had to redo was my safety check sticker relocation plate was in the center . make sure it is on the righter side when you go in (if you are planning to use the plate)

my venting is far from over...rambling incomplete...PM me if you would like to share opinions or comments...perhaps we should have a venting thread

So I have a concern about the safety of my passenger and I in my s2000. I have a quick release on my car so the original owner had to disable the airbag light right? so does this affect the airbag system? like, if (and hopefully this never happens) I get into an accident, will my passenger airbag still deploy? I know my side never will cuz even the OEM one I'm buying doesn't come with one...
