tired of cops... how do i make extra-sleeper

Ever since I got my wrx, i've been getting followed around everywhere in the bay area. I also must mention that i drive an 02 wrx with NO spoiler... and, ASPEN WHITE! Yet, I manage to get pulled over and followed constantly! Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I think not....
Anybody have any ideas to make my car EVEN more sleeper? I got rid of my DRLs after my first ticket...

I have an 02 white with gold rims, and have never been even looked twice at by the CHP (import haters). I also have no tint, not too lowered, and a stock looking and fairly quiet exhaust (Vishnu twin tip). Just don't drive like a retard.

Mine was riced out with a loud *** exhaust. Never got a second look, except for a thumbs up or two. Follow the rules and play nice with others.

Maybe it's not the car, it's the driver. I know I always get followed around when I'm in Oakley/Brentwood. Cops out there don't like the hispanic males for some reason.

I'm not at all sure it's the hispanic factor. I live in Antioch and I'm about as white as one can get and I get the same kind of attention. I think it's just the abundance of jaskass drivers in the area that give you and I a bad rap and give the cops a bad attitude. Some cops just like following WRXs and I don't know why.

drive like a biatch and follow other cars. i got tired of being followed too so i purposely get behind others and cruise with traffic. cops aren't gonna pull behind you and follow a whole line of cars. cops!
