Basically if you modify your car, you are required to get it certified by a recon inspector so that you can get a "reconstruction" sticker and paperwork so that it's verified street legal. You're supposed to have this paperwork when you go in for a safety inspection. That station is at Kapahulu across foodland, it only costs $15 but from what people tell me it's only open from like 1pm and there's always a line. Also, you're at the mercy of the inspectors so if they're having a bad day...

Here's the rules:

i think most of us subaru owners have so much class, that the cops really don't bother us, i have only been hassled by a cop once but was let off since he knew my parents

I drive a stock Forester XT. I don't think cops would pull that over. One of the plusses of not driving a riced out honda.
