Legal Matters
 

Where do you go or look, to find out what's legal to add to your car? ie, tint, headlight, tail lights, drops, all mods. Do cops even bother you over here in hawaii about your mods or pull you over and say "hey, that's illegal!".

I would assume your state has a DMV site which lists all the rules. Headlights and tail lights are pretty standard--they have to be DOT approved and the right color.

i'll go look to see if they do have a site.

Yeah, they have a site, but it doesn't help me worth a sh!t. It's all a bunch of baloney and I still don't know anything.

This is the law for hawaii... the answers are all in there but it'll take some time to get to them as they are all written as a legal document..

[§291-24.5] Motor vehicle muffler. (a) No person shall use on a public highway, sell, alter or install a muffler which will noticeably increase the noise emitted by a motor vehicle above that emitted by the vehicle as equipped from the factory.

(b) Any violation of this section shall constitute a violation and shall be enforceable by police officers. The fine for this violation shall be not less than $25 nor more than $250 for each separate offense. Any person who violates the provisions of this section may be issued a summons or citation for such violation. [L 1977, c 79, §1]


what a bunch of crap, everyone has loud LOUD ricers over here and the cops don't do sh!t about it. i live on the 26th floor, windows closed and i can hear cars and motocycles from way up here like there is a train coming thru from next door. Bunch of crap, i'm going to get the strup and hotrod it everywhere.

My DC exhaust came with the RS2 so I am home free on that one..........

I'm not sure about the other laws, but here's a link to the tinting one:
