you should still get your windshields tinted just lighter because the 5 all around will make it still look dark and it doesn’t have to be 20%. Or get a doctors note saying you have sensitivity to light with your eyes. 👍🏻
I’ve been state reff too before in sd. I put everything back to stock and bring to state referee but still didn’t pass so what i did is just pay off my ticket for modified emissions and put all the parts everything back together again. I feel like I waste my time putting everything back to stock and they still didn’t pass me on inspection. So when you pay it off you good. Also I recommend check it on the website your record it will take 2 weeks or 1 week to show up that state reff and just paid it off in there instead waiting the mail it will take forever.
Just take the front tint off bro. As soon as cops see it that more than enough reason to pull you over. Yeah it looks cooler but at some point it just makes sense to bring just little less attention to yourself. Cheers bro Keep the clean content coming.
Tbh, the best solution is to move out of CA if you really want to mod your cars. I myself have been considering it the past couple years and not just because of the ridiculous cars/registration laws and regulations, but also the fact that the state wants to leech as much money from you as possible. I don't really think it's worth it staying in CA as a car guy.
Found this good video talking about state refs, seems like you can just post bail and not have to do the state ref inspection, the inspection seems to act as a "fix it ticket" where you don't have to pay the fine. Hopefully this helps! Good luck! th-cam.com/video/e1ETTIx21ec/w-d-xo.html
I would just pay the bail. I went to get state reffed passed and they didn't accept the papers they gave me. Still had to post bail on top of yhe 108 for the inspection
I believe you have two options technically. You can either pay the fine and move on, or go back to stock take it to the ref and get it signed off without having to pay. When I got state reffed I just paid the fine and moved on… not sure if it’s changed since then cuz that was like 2019 lol but that was just my experience
I don't understand. The cop told you that you had 3 options take it to the mechanic, drive to work, or drive it to state ref but the ticket says that you can't drive the car it doesn’t make sense
Worse car guy/girl feeling is getting pulled over by cops and not knowing how picky and moody the cops will be going ape shit on the amounts of tickets given to us.
Can’t really blame the cop. You know they pull you over for anything. Why give them a reason. Put your windows down, put your plate on , drive slow so exhaust don’t bark when police near and always lie to the cops about modifications. Rookie moves.
Some cops are just class a douchebags ^^ We have the same here, but that normally don't ever happen. If its to low they will pull you over, some may think the exhaust is to loud but still legal. Hope it all will go good for you :)
SMH. I know it's part of the game but dang this seems as if they are targeting you for no reason. I never understand why they got after people with modified cars when there are people actually doing illegal stuff! I wish you the best Chris and spreading good fortunate so it doesn't happen to you in the near future! 🤝🤝
@absolutely failz nah bro it's because of his car. They don't give a shit about what color you are. All they see are just modified cars they'll pull you over. It's fucking stupid because I know its the sideshows out here in cali that are fucking it up for everyone tbh.
the worst part of what you said is, most modified cars are kept and maintained better than most unmodified cars on the road. I've seen countless cars that have body panels rusting through and look like if they hit a bump too hard the whole thing will fall apart, but even still they have to target modified cars cause they're easy tickets (thats what I assume, they see an easy hit so they take it)
you dont understand why? its the takeover kids who get 30 calls in of drifting and burnouts and blocking the traffic. its also the bs shifting of blame from big manufactures to the individuals for pollution, which has led to more epa regs on us vs the big yachts and airliners.
I got state reffed like 5 years..still drove the car around😂 had cops around me and everything and I don’t think it actually flagged my registration or anything. All I did was go to court to pay the fine and was on my way. Was still able to get my tags for my car the following year without a problem
Damn bro sorry that happened frfr, hope everything will get figured out! Could’ve been worse 🙏🏾 sending you blessings and prayers. It’ll all work out bro
It’s really not that bad. I don’t get hassled in my Sti. My catback is 91 db, my window tint is legal, I have a carb sticker for my intake, turbo inlet,aos, and bpv.
Vinyl on the plates isn’t the best idea, about as illegal if not more so than the windshield tint and they’ll pull you over more frequently for it. I believe it’s a minimum $300 fine for just that. Don’t want to see the sti impounded. Probably not what you wanna hear but it might be time to change city’s/states sounds like you’re getting more well known with the cops too and that’s going to get ugly. Hope things get better. Stay outta trouble bro 😂
I think even if you just pay a fix up ticket,without being corrected,you’re still obligated to fix it,if not the next time you get pulled over, it’s going to be a harsher ticket or even worse. I know this from experience.Good luck,bro.☹️
I got state ref for stock intake with a K&N air filter, You can pay the fine but if you get pulled over again in the same car, the system will pop up as your got state ref in that car before and they’ll pop your hood once again to make sure it stock and but if they see that you still have the intake then they can tow your car or get arrested, or maybe both depending on cop mood.
Glad I live in PA, we don't have front plates, my car is dropped, tinted and very loud and not stock. Tint will tend to get you hassled here depending on where you live, some areas are known to be much tougher than others. I've rolled by local cops, got on it a bit and the cop laughed and shook her head and kept it pushing. California is not how it used to be, both my parents had fast modified cars when we lived in both SoCal and NorCal, didn't get hassled for it back then but that was late 70's and early 80's, different times. California is a hassle in every way, driving a modified car here in PA is so much less stress. Sorry man, I hope things work out for the best for you. Maybe time to move to a different city where the cops don't know you.
Dude, you don't answer questions and you don't consent to searches Also, I think AOSs are legal. There's a list from the state somewhere that lists modifications that are ok to use. I believe AOSs are on it. COBB's AOS also has a CARB number. That's the one I plan on getting to cover myself just in case.
Totally agree bro. You can dig your self a grave if you just do what they say. If you doing things illegal like donuts burnouts or speeding then they could search your car and impound if have illegal parts But if you just cruising and get pulled over for just window tint. Get your window tint ticket or loud exhaust. And go on your way. Never answer question
I got state refed in January this year, luckily only had catless headers and a tune. I put the car back to stock and daily'd it until just last week when I passed smog and paid $25 for the citation after it being certified. Never got anything in the mail however about my citation. Good luck brotha! Love the content, I'm sure you'll figure something out and you'll get back to the grind!
@@malcolmbrown9733 they smog check you, so anything that will affect your smog will cause you to fail the state ref test too. Including tunes, intakes if they aren't carb legal.
must suck living there ngl i’ve never heard of state ref until california😅 I live in washington and everyone has so many mods to their cars and literally this never happens it’s actually so dumb what’s tint and an intake gonna do😭
In my experience bro, when I got state reffed for my exhaust , I don’t remember getting anything in the mail. I just remember having to get smogged before the date on the citation but you can call and extend it I believe, I tried to get the paper signed off at the courthouse but they said it has to be smogged first even though I put it to stock. After I passed smog, I went back and paid it off and they said I was good to go. Honestly I would drive that car regularly since it was my daily and I never had any issues with cops seeing me while being reffed, maybe cause they know I already got fucked 😂I had tinted windows on everything but the windshield , no front plate and my exhaust . They got my brother for the same a while later and it was the same process .👍🏼
so you can pay the ticket and not worry.... BUT IF THEY CONTACT THE DMV... they might request you to go to a state ref! if you do get pulled over again it should show the case has been closed after you paid them.
These damn cops are out of control bro. Why are they worried about the little things… There’s way worse crime out in the world🤣🤣 It’s alright man, you’ll figure it out and come back better than ever 🙏🏻
Because criminals are usually low life's with no money.. the rest of us have jobs and buy nice things with our hard earned money and that is why they target us because like Chris for example will end up paying the fine and will most likely be pulled over again and rinse and repeat . EZ money for the crooks
I believe wrapping your plates is illegal even if it’s easy to read the plate. Don’t give them more reasons to pull you over by small things like that and you won’t get caught with mods on your car
@@cannonbelew2187 sorry, I meant to say state referee shop that looked over my car and smogged it after they confirmed it was legal. Surprised the bill came to be $5. It was done at in Alameda in the Bay Area
do we have to put carb stickers on the car? i've got a cobb big sf intake and it's carb certified but i got it used and im not sure where the sticker is
I believe You need to do both when i had gotten state reffed they gave me a sticker and i just put it on the ticket & whenever i had gotten pulled over i just showed them i got it done
I think if you pay the fine and get reffed again without an inspection on the first one there is a possibility you can be arrested if pulled over again
Bro that’s officer 3:25 Juan Marquez, he’s pulled me over and many of my friends… I can’t even drive through my own neighborhood without this guy targeting me, said he’d take me to jail over my steering wheel smh
I live in the bay area. got state reffed for my tomei on my 350z and I was able to pay it off, it was about $550. a lot better than putting my stock one in to get inspected for compliance then swapping it AGAIN to the tomei
Should stop telling the officers you do the tint for looks 😂 tell them it’s for your eyes and you get blinded by other cars at night. And those plates are going to get you pulled over once you wrap them. I just got pulled over for it last month
It’s okay Chris , you’ll grow out of it soon enough. Then you can you still enjoy your cars responsibly and within the laws. Trust me cops don’t harass older guys with modded cars cuz they are not out there being silly.
Dude your one pullover away from being impounded I’m telling you. Your STI looks great as it is. Don’t need the extra shit bro just take the tint off or go lighter and lay low for a while meaning don’t add anything that gives them a reason to get you.
You can pay the full fine and go on with it. Technically speaking the only reason they make you go back to stock is for emissions here in Cali. Like yeah when you go to court you have a possibility of the amount being reduced cuz you “fixed” the issue but other than that they just want the money.
Idk why but ever since you got the 2022 Subaru BRZ and Sti I’ve fell in love with the brand ever time I see one I imagine doing what u do keep up the good work 🤩😎
I'd say make the tint less darker, but if the cops keep pulling you over all because of the tint just take it off completely, cops won't stop bothering you until they see a difference of the tint so I'd say make it less dark, if that doesn't work just take the whole thing off
State ref sends the cert along with you vin and plate to the dmv and court. even if you don't do anything with on your part with the cert. the dmv and state gets notified if you did it or not. or you can "sell" your car to a buddy or gf and the ref ticket goes away and then "buy" it back. lol
When I got state reffed I took it back to stock got the certificate from the ref ppl sent it in to get the price reduced/cleared and basically said f*** the certificate still pay us and had no problems since 😂😂 but when u do go to get the certificate the aos is fine tht has nothing to do with emissions
If you pay the ticket, the ticket is taken care of but if you are pulled over again with mods, the cop will see that you avoid state ref and payed the fine instead. If you are pulled over again, then the fine/penalty can be 2x worse. i just had my car pass state ref and went to court, that way it gets cleared completely with a lesser fee.
I don’t live in cali, but from what I’ve always heard is that you convert back to stock, go to a mechanic (smog/emissions place) and then they inspect and sign it off saying you’re good and you send that somewhere, but idk for sure ahah. I’d find someone you can pay-off 😅🤫
Bro just remove front tints. Less tint on others. Your ride is already lit. Don’t risk them impounding it. I went thru your phase when I was a kid, tried to fight them because my so called friends egged me on…. Sh*t it wasn’t their car getting towed. Do the right thing
Tried getting a tint thing for my eyes, but in my state if you get pulled over or anything they contact your doctor. Then your doctor can lose their license. So they don’t write any slips here in Michigan.
Dude just get your cars registered in another state an have the different plate i dont think they can do anything if your cars are registered somewhere else not sure but iv heard of people doing that
Hello there Chris I got a state ref of my 350Z about a year-and-a-half ago you don't get to pay that one trust me they make you make an appointment a state referee place when you do that then they let you pay it the way it works for both your cars believe me you're going to find out sooner or later as soon as you go try to smog your car the Computers not going to allow them to let you smog test the car with them they're going to tell you you have to go to a state referee certified place with the CHP I know from personal experience because I too paid my ticket and thought I got away until smog check time came up and no one was able to do a smog test on my car and they told me there's something holding your car from being able to be smog tested with us they put a hold on your car's VIN number I was driving around like that for a full year before I found out trust me you're going to find out the same way it sucks they made me wait two months before I was able to take my state ref test and before that I have to get all the things on my car fixed back to stock before I was able to take it to them away in other words cleared before I was able to go back on the road so regardless good luck brother I wish you the best
I live in Los Angeles w/ a mustang GT with corsa extremes and headers as well as 15% windshield and 5% all around and never been pulled over 😭 and I been next to cops n nothing
You can get the car cleared with the state and not have to pay the fine and it does not show up on your record. if a coo were to pull you over after getting it cleared they wouldn’t be able to tell you got state reffed. You can post bail (paying the citation when it comes in the mail) but if you do that and get pulled again they will see the state ref and cite you for double the first one costed or if they’re a dick they can tow your car
you should still get your windshields tinted just lighter because the 5 all around will make it still look dark and it doesn’t have to be 20%. Or get a doctors note saying you have sensitivity to light with your eyes. 👍🏻
they’re just gonna tell him to wear sun glasses 😂
That doesn’t work in California
@@xDrastik right Lmao
chris gets state reffed...then tells us he gonna wrap his license plate lol
Don’t put the vinyl on the plates. Cops pull over Subarus the most. Don’t want another state ref in the future bro. Love the video

@@chris_borges nope! registration has been normal for me. I'm pretty sure if you pay off the state ref ticket, it kinda just goes away
Should stop telling the officers you do the tint for looks 😂 tell them it’s for your eyes and you get blinded by other cars at night. And those plates are going to get you pulled over once you wrap them. I just got pulled over for it last month
It’s okay Chris , you’ll grow out of it soon enough. Then you can you still enjoy your cars responsibly and within the laws. Trust me cops don’t harass older guys with modded cars cuz they are not out there being silly.
Dude your one pullover away from being impounded I’m telling you. Your STI looks great as it is. Don’t need the extra shit bro just take the tint off or go lighter and lay low for a while meaning don’t add anything that gives them a reason to get you.
This has me paranoid to go down the 125 in my Sti, Id be reffed forsure, stay up bro!
Usually never have issues on the 125 too..
He Dropped another banger let’s gooooo!
You can pay the full fine and go on with it.
Technically speaking the only reason they make you go back to stock is for emissions here in Cali. Like yeah when you go to court you have a possibility of the amount being reduced cuz you “fixed” the issue but other than that they just want the money.
And I thought NY was bad. They eased up on tints. I guess mainly becuase people are getting the doctors notices. Cali is crazy
Idk why but ever since you got the 2022 Subaru BRZ and Sti I’ve fell in love with the brand ever time I see one I imagine doing what u do keep up the good work 🤩😎
Ur inspiring me to do this when I’m older to
Love my bro
Imo California has the worst restrictions against the car community, they won’t let people that live there express their love for cars 😒
How long did you wait for the custom plates?
About 3 months!
I'd say make the tint less darker, but if the cops keep pulling you over all because of the tint just take it off completely, cops won't stop bothering you until they see a difference of the tint so I'd say make it less dark, if that doesn't work just take the whole thing off
i have 5% all around on my wrx for like 1 year & still haven’t gotten pulled over where i live at, knocking on wood tho
when your car aired out it made me smile and want to get bags lmfao
Get the state reff done!! It sucks but the same happened to me
It's one thing to be wreckless...it's another thing to spend time staring and an engine bay and write tickets over tint and some bolt-ons.
it’s tough having a modified car in cali i just failed smog cause of my header i feel it bro
The era of the white brz with the L1s was my favorite
You can pay the fine and be done with it but it'll show up if you ever get pulled over and the fines get exponentially more expensive.
Not worth it. Learned my lesson.
State ref sends the cert along with you vin and plate to the dmv and court. even if you don't do anything with on your part with the cert. the dmv and state gets notified if you did it or not. or you can "sell" your car to a buddy or gf and the ref ticket goes away and then "buy" it back. lol
When I got state reffed I took it back to stock got the certificate from the ref ppl sent it in to get the price reduced/cleared and basically said f*** the certificate still pay us and had no problems since 😂😂 but when u do go to get the certificate the aos is fine tht has nothing to do with emissions
Forsure thanks for the info!
Abuse at this point. Asian cop = "He knows"
If you pay the ticket, the ticket is taken care of but if you are pulled over again with mods, the cop will see that you avoid state ref and payed the fine instead. If you are pulled over again, then the fine/penalty can be 2x worse. i just had my car pass state ref and went to court, that way it gets cleared completely with a lesser fee.
I don’t live in cali, but from what I’ve always heard is that you convert back to stock, go to a mechanic (smog/emissions place) and then they inspect and sign it off saying you’re good and you send that somewhere, but idk for sure ahah. I’d find someone you can pay-off 😅🤫
Bro just remove front tints. Less tint on others. Your ride is already lit. Don’t risk them impounding it. I went thru your phase when I was a kid, tried to fight them because my so called friends egged me on…. Sh*t it wasn’t their car getting towed. Do the right thing
at this point I’m about to have a doctor write up a note for me saying I have a skin condition or something about my eyes lmao💀💀💀
Tried getting a tint thing for my eyes, but in my state if you get pulled over or anything they contact your doctor. Then your doctor can lose their license. So they don’t write any slips here in Michigan.
@@Collin_Nicholas that blows dude
Dude just get your cars registered in another state an have the different plate i dont think they can do anything if your cars are registered somewhere else not sure but iv heard of people doing that
🤝will still be here to watch those garage vids, stay safe brotha
Appreciate you bro! ❤
It’s the front tint that’s giving you too much heat. I would give it up it’s not worth the risk of getting state reffed again.
rip bro 💔
Hello there Chris I got a state ref of my 350Z about a year-and-a-half ago you don't get to pay that one trust me they make you make an appointment a state referee place when you do that then they let you pay it the way it works for both your cars believe me you're going to find out sooner or later as soon as you go try to smog your car the Computers not going to allow them to let you smog test the car with them they're going to tell you you have to go to a state referee certified place with the CHP I know from personal experience because I too paid my ticket and thought I got away until smog check time came up and no one was able to do a smog test on my car and they told me there's something holding your car from being able to be smog tested with us they put a hold on your car's VIN number I was driving around like that for a full year before I found out trust me you're going to find out the same way it sucks they made me wait two months before I was able to take my state ref test and before that I have to get all the things on my car fixed back to stock before I was able to take it to them away in other words cleared before I was able to go back on the road so regardless good luck brother I wish you the best
Ahhh.. thank you for the insight. 🙏🏻
I live in Los Angeles w/ a mustang GT with corsa extremes and headers as well as 15% windshield and 5% all around and never been pulled over 😭 and I been next to cops n nothing
Damnnn and heard LA is bad too! 😅
Arizona welcomes you anytime man
You can get the car cleared with the state and not have to pay the fine and it does not show up on your record. if a coo were to pull you over after getting it cleared they wouldn’t be able to tell you got state reffed. You can post bail (paying the citation when it comes in the mail) but if you do that and get pulled again they will see the state ref and cite you for double the first one costed or if they’re a dick they can tow your car
Thank you for this. 🙏🏻
You can pay off the ticket and not take it to the state ref. I think it's a point on you're license and a lil over 500$ for the ticket
3 of my buddies have been state reffed already this year🤦🏾♂️
Smhhhh i’ve been getting ticketsss this year too..
You need to do a collaboration with pot brothers at law about what to say to the cops when pulled over in a modified car.
big bummer. My guess is you cant drive it until its compliant like it states. It's pretty clear.
Huge bummmer.
