inspection sticker in houston...
 

so i was told by an employee @ don mcgill scion that if i were to have my car take the inspection test it would not pass cause i don't have a driver side visor. i don't use it so i got rid of it and put a pair of gauges up there. is there any truth to the visor thing? if so can anyone recommend me a place where i can get my inspection done without any 'hassles'?

i've never heard of that one. sun visors are not an inspectable item in texas. i'd have him show you in the inspection manual where it says that because ours doesn't show it.

That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Ok, well, at least one of the dumbest.

that's good to know. well i'll ask you this: i have 35 degree REd window tint around the entire xa's windows with the stripe on the front. withh that be an issue as far as getting my inspection renewed? i ask cause i got pulled over by a constable on the way back form dallas to houston and he told me that tint can only be black or mirriored.

maybe this will help you with your questions.

chris call up juicy or hit her up on myspace or mike an see what there shop can do for u

there is some good news and some bad news

the bad news: red tint is a no-no
