I dunno i'm kinda leaning towards keeping the car then putting it back to stock. Actually I would RATHER keep the car then turn that car back to stock. So I dunno forget the sale i'm keeping my baby unless I find someone who actually understands the smog laws! http://www.dmv.org/ca-california/smog-check.php
Cars Six Years Old and Newer
If your vehicle is six years old or newer, you will be charged an annual smog abatement fee when you register your vehicle rather than being required to provide smog certification.
However, the six-year-or-newer rule doesn't apply to nonresident and custom-built cars made since 1976. Those vehicles will still require smog certification. If you have a custom or specially constructed car, however, you might need a different type of smog certification.
Title Transfer and Smog Requirements
When you sell a vehicle that is four or fewer model years old, a smog certificate will not be required in order to transfer the title. The buyer will be charged a smog transfer fee of $8. If the vehicle sold is more than four model years old, the seller must provide evidence of a current smog certification except in any of the following situations:
The vehicle transfer occurs between a spouse, sibling, child, parent, grandparent, or grandchild.
The vehicle was registered and biennial smog certification was submitted to the DMV within 90 days before the date the title transfer took place. A vehicle inspection report may be required for proof of certification.

believe me my friend it's hard for me to go through all of this stuff as well. To be truthful the thought of my car going back to stock sickened me. I was in no way ready to jeopardize the hard work done to the car. Thanks for all the support!

ok well one of the things i've been wanting to do to make this car more agressive is the stance of the car. so what do you guys think of 10mm spacers all around. basically that would be changing the offset of my wheels to like a 38offset so it would push my wheels out closer to the fenders. Cool idea huh! I got no money to play with the car right now but it's something on my to do list. hahah
