Most people i know would be getting a new donor car and swapping parts over after something like this.

I just got a emissions ticket. A week after finishing up the install of TSE kit. I was stopped on side of road on Angeles Crest highway while sitting on fender, when cop (park ranger, of all things)stopped to give me a no front license plate ticket. He immediately saw turbo through hood louvers. I got VC27156b. Non correctable. Ref stamp on back side. I will be looking at options once I return to US. Remove turbo pass ref and reinstall, or pay fine and get Nevada classic car plates. Montana plates perhaps. I only drive car to the track, mechanic, and occasional canyon run since I live 1 mile from Angeles Crest. Cop knew a **** load about cars. That did not help. And I was stupid for not having front plate. I have until September 23rd to handle it.

Hood vents seem like one of those things that I would not have on a street car in Cali. Just gives something for the cops to notice. I would also probably run a plate off to the side on the front if I was in Cali.
