Angry Trip To The STATE REF!!!!

So who has made the trip to the state ref for their car? I got nailed for my intake (CARB Legal) and my BPV. I put the stock DP back on so it will pass smog and all that jazz. Is an aftermarket BPV really that big of a deal?

Put EVERYTHING back on. If you have a carb legal intake and it has a sticker on it you can leave that on.

The ref is ****. They even check timing.

If you're all good they'll do the sniffer and give it a once over visually and you'll be out in under 30 minutes with a certificate. Keep a copy of that in your car.

I have a sticker here that you can have. Assuming the part number on the sticker is correct. I've had a few kits come by with stickers missing out of the box and SOA has been kind enough to replace them. I've got one left if you want it. PM me and it's yours.
