Man that is wild how crazy this stuff is monitored in Cali, honestly feel bad for you peeps over there! Glad everything went smoothly for you though! Excited to see what’s going to come next! 😊
Just saw a post in the Orange County subaru group. It showed a bunch of officers training for state ref tickets. Sherrifs and city cops. And guess what car they were using... It had to be a Wrx..... I'm considering putting my stock exhaust back on because my other mods are worth much more than a loud car. Also recently heard about a guy with an sti that had stock exhaust and was pulled over for his exhaust being too loud... This is getting out of control. If people have a right to change their gender and smoke meth on the streets then we should have the right to modify our cars. I identify as a car enthusiast. How could that not be a reasonable argument to change all of this. If I'm forced to look at and hear a man dressed as a woman then people should be forced to accept our loud cars....
Regarding the possible issue with registration... the 100% correct answer is it depends. When the officer cites you for the emissions violation, that does not flag your registration to require a ref inspection. However, the officers are supposed to send a notification to the Bureau of Automotive Repair that your vehicle has been reffed. The BAR places a flag on your registration. So if the officer forgets to send the notification, you will be fine. If he remembers, you're gonna have to go to the ref the next time smog is due. However, if you have been cited for 27156(b), haven't cleared it, and you are caught driving your car to anywhere other than your place of business, home, or a place of repair, you can be arrested, and your car can be towed.
When I got a state ref in Cali, I wasn't even given an option to pay it off. For repeat offense they can force you to appear in court and contest with no option of paying off.
I don’t think the new look is that bad. I wouldn’t remove the front plate and wouldn’t put back on the tint specifically if it does double that’s a lot of money that you can avoid.
I know it’s kinda unpopular but I just had my front play chillin on the passenger side of the dash on the windshield. No one ever gave me any crap about that when I lived in Cali.
I work at a Subaru dealership and those dimples in the front bumper next to the holes is where you drill the holes for the front plate. Just literally grab the screw you’re going to use, set it over that dimple and drill. They’re there for that reason but not many people know
I’ve been reffed once and I just paid it off without going to the state ref themselves. My fine was only $220 though. Didn’t have any issues with registration the following year either
Found this on a evo forum page “When getting reffed you can just pay the fine and be done with it. If you get reffed again for the same infractions the cop could (if he wants to be an @$$) have the car towed and impounded, on the 3rd ref ticket they will/can black ball your car or whatever term they use, meaning it will no longer be allowed to be registered anything other than non-op in the state of California (not legal for street use). At least thats what the judge told me :(“
State ref and paying the "FINE" doesnt matter, you have to still have it checked by the ref because if the cops pull you over or the dmv anything itll show you didnt get it cleared ever you just paid the fine. My best opinion for you is hitting up a PLUG to sign it off for a fee that theyll charge you. That means they usually know a officer who will sign it off for you
Are you able to legally drive it if you just pay the fine? Like say you get pulled over do they treat it as if u never got it resolved and impound your car?
Been Reff'd 6 times since ive had my 86 for 4 years. Paid them all off and had no mention of previous reff's when pulled over by other officers in and out of San Diego but all in CA. also had no issues renewing my Registration over these past few years. including this recently in February. I think "that" officer was just power tripping. I Really think he has just been targeting/intimidating you. Took care of my recent Reff as well but now squaring away my lady's Reff.
Nope. Pretty sure he’s got super dark tint on the side windows, that’s also illegal if it’s a certain percentage. Same with back windows in some states
I had my frs for 4 years and never had a plate on, but had to pay 700+ for 2 exhaust tickets and my license got suspended because I never showed in court, the cops penmanship was so bad I didn’t know where to go, had to look for a local courthouse in Westminster
This is why I dont register my cars. Only insurance. I'm in massachusetts which isn't as bad as California. But still insanely high with taxes and stuff.
just got state reffed for my modified exhaust single exit motordyne xpipe for my Z. i was leaving school and the school cop pulls me over cuz i didn’t stop a stop sign all the way so i got a ticket for that first then the school cop says sum about my exhaust. my car isn’t even that loud so i asked bro what are the decibels and he didn’t even tell me how much it was
Old video, I know, so someone probably already said this, but dude! You drilled your bumper instead of the plate? Nice looking car, by the way. I like the color a lot.
As far as I know, in CA just paying the ticket without getting it corrected is not enough, u also might have a bench warrant on your record,just letting you know from experience. Hopefully u can get away with it by not getting pulled over.
My cousins m IV supra got popped , he had to completely pull engine and go back to stock ecu to get it re-registered . And pay fines. He lives in the L.A. area
Nice, bro I would just leave it without tint it's still look sick without it ur just use to it but trust me I have front tint but ppl pay way more attention to ur wheel and color more then ur tints it's not worth headache
I was pulled over the other week for exhaust, tint, front plats. Cop didn’t care for tint or exhaust (thank god). Front plate is the dumbest thing ever, but luckily I got away with it somehow because he “lost” his ticket device while on his bike.
I leave the dealer sticker on my front window so it looks like I just got the car even though it's 5 months old now. Haven't got pulled over for no front plate yet.
How did it go when you renewed your registration did you have any problems with the state ref? I don’t know if I should pay the fine or go through the state ref
Next time you have to remove your tint take a black garbage bag cut it out in the shape of the window and spray soap and water on the window and put the bag on the inside of the window and let it sit in the sun for 15-20 mins then peel the tint off slowly
Ok from my research I keep hearing you can pay it off & call it a day. But then I also hear that if you pay it off you might be burned out & if you get pulled over your subject to another state ref which is a higher fee the second time around. Now the question is if I got state reffed & I decide to pay it off & not go back to stock, will I still be able to register my car? & also what’s the best way to go about this if I cannot go back to stock since my engine is basically built? Thanks in advance for any advice
That i’m not sure. Some people have told me they were able to register and some people told me they couldn’t register and the car was flagged. I went the safe route and just got it inspected and did it the correct way. There’s really no other way to go around unless you get a lawyer to fight it but that takes 6+ months from my experience.
Love the new wheels, i never have front plates on my cars. They don’t look good, the tint on your windshield looks good but illegal and you will get pulled over, not worth it.
Damm Chris keeps getting sponsors/partnership just shows how far you’ve come brother keep it up my guy been watching for some time now love the vids the cars the vibes keep it up 🙌🏽🔥hopefully no more state refs 😂😂
Man I think I’m gonna have to borrow this wrap you got on the STI it’s so clean 😅 ( where you order the wrap from by the way ?), but always dope content man 🔥. Always waiting to get the notification that you post. ✨
Bro one time I got pulled over for doing a pull and the cop let me go. Then a week later I get pulled over again by the same cop for not having a front plate 🤦♂️🤦♂️
It’s kind of BS that in a place like California front window tint is illegal because with the UV rays and the heat in the summer there I can see why you would want window tint all over your car to reduce the heat and the damage to your interior😂.
currently going through a state reff right now and they told me that its a mandatory court hearing??? They told me i cant pay it off even though it lets me pay for it through the online court system. Like tf? so now im just waiting til next month for my court date........its been 4 months now since ive driven my car man.....
@@chris_borges the court clerk told me this when I had my original court date back in February then rescheduled another court date until April since apparently it's a mandatory court hearing. The cop that pulled me over wasnt going easy on me tho. I had cleaned my car about a month before i got pulled over and accidentally threw away my insurance card in my glove box so he did give me a citation for driving without insurance. So maybe that's why it's mandatory? Not sure.

Mbn 😂
I still rock no plates, plenty of cops saw it, haven’t got pulled over or a ticket yet. Knock on wood..
Man that is wild how crazy this stuff is monitored in Cali, honestly feel bad for you peeps over there! Glad everything went smoothly for you though! Excited to see what’s going to come next! 😊

I got reffed on 4/20/23
And I had no option but to appear in court :( first time too
Glad everything got worked out for the STI lookin forward to seein the content come through !! 🙌🏾
Hyped to start again and start modding!

Interesting. 💯
if a cop pulls you over itll show you arent cleared, it happened to my homie and he paid it and he got towed by RSO
@@ambry4365 fr? I thought it would just go away. For how long was it towed for?
You didn’t have issues when doing smog?
@@F82_ Nope. Smogged the car 2 more times before I sold it

The license plate not lining up was a perfect example of how simple car modifications turn into something way more 😂
For my front plate ticket i just lined it up and drilled a hole into the plate instead of the bumper
Random question
Why didn't you drill into the plate to fit the existing holes Instead of drilling into your bumper?
State ref and paying the "FINE" doesnt matter, you have to still have it checked by the ref because if the cops pull you over or the dmv anything itll show you didnt get it cleared ever you just paid the fine. My best opinion for you is hitting up a PLUG to sign it off for a fee that theyll charge you. That means they usually know a officer who will sign it off for you
what is a plug?
JDC has a titanium plaque you cam put in place of the front plate. 100% worth it to get

Whats the current price of a state ref ticket if you dont go to state ref to get inspected?
Dang….you could have bought a faster car with the money…..that sucks 😢
I mean. If you do dumb things with your cars. It’s not targeting.
He paid $536
You could have used the towhook license plate mount
It hurt seeing you drill into the bumper. 😥At least PA doesn't require front plates....yet. Nice to see you got it all sorted. 👍
Thanks man 🥲 I’ll find some bracket or plate to cover the holes haha.
@@chris_borges why didn’t you just tap new holes in the plate itself to match?
@@chris_borges get the Perrin titanium badges!
@@chris_borges make custom brgs one!
I just used stick on Velcro got the ticked signed then took it off, wild drilling the bumper 😢
welcome back to the streets STI!! 🎉
You always save my day with your content!
Thank You!
Much love man. ❤
Gunna be so nice to have the STI videos again! Glad you got the tickets and ref out of the way. looking forward to the retint video coming soon lol
another awesome video Chris! i wouldve just drilled new holes on the license plate instead of the bumper haha. Ill see you on the next one buddy!
I think tinted front windshield is the only illegal one. The rest should be ok.Glad it worked out.👍
Nope. Pretty sure he’s got super dark tint on the side windows, that’s also illegal if it’s a certain percentage. Same with back windows in some states
I had my frs for 4 years and never had a plate on, but had to pay 700+ for 2 exhaust tickets and my license got suspended because I never showed in court, the cops penmanship was so bad I didn’t know where to go, had to look for a local courthouse in Westminster
Looks dope glad you got everything handled!
Same man 🙏🏻
sti looks crazy nice man
Soon as you said bypass valve, I was thinking exactly the same
This is why I dont register my cars. Only insurance. I'm in massachusetts which isn't as bad as California. But still insanely high with taxes and stuff.
Ride safe as always, Kuya! 🫶🏾
Likewise brother!
The front plate doesn’t look that bad, just get a sick cover and it will look fine.
just got state reffed for my modified exhaust single exit motordyne xpipe for my Z. i was leaving school and the school cop pulls me over cuz i didn’t stop a stop sign all the way so i got a ticket for that first then the school cop says sum about my exhaust. my car isn’t even that loud so i asked bro what are the decibels and he didn’t even tell me how much it was
When I got reffed I had to pay it off and convert my car back to stock and get it signed off by the ref
Old video, I know, so someone probably already said this, but dude! You drilled your bumper instead of the plate? Nice looking car, by the way. I like the color a lot.
Good luck on the BPV! I’ve been waiting since October for a Grimmspeed to come in stock.
Excited! 🙏🏻
As far as I know, in CA just paying the ticket without getting it corrected is not enough, u also might have a bench warrant on your record,just letting you know from experience. Hopefully u can get away with it by not getting pulled over.
They go after bs like this. But if you break into someone’s car and steal something nothing will happen.
STI IS BACK 🔥 mannn that cali ref process sounds like a nightmare 😂
Just recently started watching your videos and inspired me more to get a Subaru
🥹❤️
My cousins m IV supra got popped , he had to completely pull engine and go back to stock ecu to get it re-registered . And pay fines. He lives in the L.A. area
Wow.
Did u ever have trouble registering the car?
Need those pops and bangs on my STI , sounds so good bro!
Dope vid as always😊! Sorry my dude u had to go thru that BS.. the car community across America should protest against that state violation crap.
Let’s goooo!!! The sti is back👏🏽🙌🏽👌🏽
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
welcome back king!
have not seen your car for a while . wow nice build
What's the point of tinting your windshield?
So sick bro! I miss the brz content tbh but so glad the Sti is back #roadto100k So close to 100!!!!
BRZ content coming soon bro!!
welcome back sti! 🥳
Nice, bro I would just leave it without tint it's still look sick without it ur just use to it but trust me I have front tint but ppl pay way more attention to ur wheel and color more then ur tints it's not worth headache

I leave the dealer sticker on my front window so it looks like I just got the car even though it's 5 months old now. Haven't got pulled over for no front plate yet.
Bro you shoulda just used 1 bolt hole for the plate and then used double sided tape for the other side just to keep it in place. No drilling.
How did it go when you renewed your registration did you have any problems with the state ref? I don’t know if I should pay the fine or go through the state ref
No issues so far. I’ve heard that people had issues with registering if they didn’t clear it.
Next time you have to remove your tint take a black garbage bag cut it out in the shape of the window and spray soap and water on the window and put the bag on the inside of the window and let it sit in the sun for 15-20 mins then peel the tint off slowly
Interesting 🤔💯
currently have gramlights on my car cause i thought i would be a track guy but i just want some 3 piece s1's now so i can be hot boi xD
Did you have to go to the state ref to pass it or no ?
you should make a project build 370z static
In idaho if you have a custom plate you don’t need a front one
Front plate doesn’t look too bad tbh lol
I know it’s too late but couldn’t you have drilled into the license plate to line them up with the holes instead of the bumper?
Was worried they’d trip about me “tampering” the plates. 😅
bro i just saw car posted in esco by micky ds but i didnt see you around 😭

The beast is back 😈🦋… gotta get that tint back up though 😅
Frrrr 😂😂😂
did you just pay the ticket off and not show up to court or did you still have to show up for the hearing
No it’s either 1 or the other. Paying bail on a ticket is closing it. Showing up to court is if you wanna fight the ticket.
So... is there a limit to the potential power based on CARB-legal parts?
man, Chris your car is looking sweet.
gotta just go with a less agressive tint on the front imo
Why didn’t you drill new holes in the license plate????
You shouldve drilled new holes into the license plate instead of the bumper
Why didn’t you drill the plate or just use tape?
Can't wait for that content on the sti!!!!!!!!!!
Yessir!! 🔥
Bro for my front plate, i deadass duck taped it real quick just for the officer tk look at it, then as he walked away i took it off lol
Love the new wheels, i never have front plates on my cars. They don’t look good, the tint on your windshield looks good but illegal and you will get pulled over, not worth it.
just use windex or bonami with a razor blade for the residue on the windshield
You should of either drilled new holes in the plate or use double sided tape
Damm Chris keeps getting sponsors/partnership just shows how far you’ve come brother keep it up my guy been watching for some time now love the vids the cars the vibes keep it up 🙌🏽🔥hopefully no more state refs 😂😂
I got state reffd earlier and then proceeded to run into the cop 30 mins later.
Man I think I’m gonna have to borrow this wrap you got on the STI it’s so clean 😅 ( where you order the wrap from by the way ?), but always dope content man 🔥. Always waiting to get the notification that you post. ✨
Much love man! Wrap shop orders it for me and they handle it. Color is snow blue from the brand inozetek.
Fire vid as always sir!🙏🏽🔥
Question: I drive a humble Toyota cross and looking to get it tinted, what % would you go for?
Thanks bro! With my taste I limo tint all the cars. 😅😅
where did you get the Bluetooth tire pressure caps?
Hello Chris you make great videos bud keep up the good work buddy :)
I don’t run a front plate but the holes are there from the previous owner. 😢
You can buy colour matched caps that go in the holes
Why didn't u drill 2 holes in the plate not your bumper 😢
Can Valved exhaust pass on State ref ?? Cuz I can go quite u know
Bro one time I got pulled over for doing a pull and the cop let me go. Then a week later I get pulled over again by the same cop for not having a front plate 🤦♂️🤦♂️
As long he didn’t check your engine bay or for exhaust you should be good

Got stopped doing 130mph
Was let off with tickets and court appeal, $3500 later im still ripping it up
You couldve zip ties the front plate instead

What did you get State Ref for Bro?
My first state ref 3 years ago was 900 you got a deal
