okay someone help me please, I have a TRD CAI and i wanted to know, is their a way i can buy a CARB sticker to slap it on, or maybe get one from somewhere, I already know the TRD CAI is not Carb Approved but i just got a ticket for it, so its just a fix it ticket, but i want a CARB Sticker so this doesnt happen again, stupid cops, BS!!!!

Someone help me!!!!

 

Never heard of anyone being pulled over for a CAI....where you an ___ or something?

 

no he just asked to pop open the hood cuz he noticed i had all these stickers on my car and thought i was a street racer, so he was suspicious

 

i got the TRD cai, he cant tell you crap man, you got it from the dealer right?

 

sorry to burst ur bubble scion jon, but that is for "off road use only" so its not legal.

 

depending where you live, he can tell you crap.

 

This is why the only stickers i'll put on my car are suspension brand stickers. I've got wheel locks, so it'd be kind of hard to steal any of that.

 

its more obvious with stickers on your car, making them want to pop your hood

 

if it came from the dealer, its a warrantied part, he cant tell you crap cuz you didnt buy it from some other place, it came from TOYOTA, its a toyota part,

i had the same argument with a cop down here, said i had to take it offf, i asked him if he was going to pay me 488 bucks to take it off, and he asked if i was having an attitude issue, i said no, it came from the dealer, and he said oh ,ok lmfao

 

I tried to warn you about that a few months ago.

Anyway, I might be mistaken, but I believe the S/C came with a separate CARB sticker for the new airbox.

 

Unfortunately, warranty has absolutely nothing to do with the intake being illegal. As previously mentioned, it is for "Off Road Use Only" which is exactly what the title implies. And even if it was legal for street use, it is STILL NOT CARB LEGAL. I do not know if the officer's reason for pulling him over was valid, but his order to remove the intake was legitimate.

 

no you dont understan what i wrote,

i only mentioned it as a warrantied part to THE OFFICER, you know, it gets them thinking?
and obiously it worked cuz after i mentioned it, he didnt ask anymore questions lol, and i got to go on my way.

like officer realy know what the hell parts are, some may know but very slim

i think he smelled some crispy kreme in that dudes car that got pulled over.

 

if it is a factory option it is not illegal. In virginia you are not allowed to have radar detectors, but BMW's have been building radar detectors in and behind their grills for a long time. On top of that the legal tint here is 50% front and passenger, 35% rears. some bmw's come with 35% all the way around. factory option=legal. toyota nor scion are authorized to sell a car that is not street legal (including the used ricer mobiles that they DO sell and are not suppose to due to violations)

 

hahaha

 

i dont want to argue with anyone,

i was just simply stated examples that have happned with me,

from my expierences, mentioning that it came from the factory scares them off

 

That may work everywhere else in the country, but it doesn't work in California anymore. Cops here are specifcally trained to know what a after market parts look like and to ask for CARB stickers regardless of if it "came from the dealership that way". Even if it is CARB exempt, you still have to prove it.

And yes cops do initiate stops based on window stickers, it happened to me, however, I requested a supervisor because I felt I was being harassed.

 

ya cops are tools, lol, anyways have you seen my car i got graphics in lime green lmao, anyways they are being changed, with a new design and color(silver/gunmetal)

but i had a mistaken identy thing happen to me, had an officer follow mw home and crap, and try to arrest me, he said he saw a blue in color sports car speend past him,

thing is he didnt mention my side graphics being the damn lime green they are, and i got to go free, and they suspended the officer

 

I look forward to see it, but oddly enough, cops wouldn't be attracted to your graphics, but they could pull you over for the Killer Glass and team stickers in the rear windows.

 

well i have to have the stickers of my sponsors on my car, since im under contract,

the thing is my car is soooon oticible the judge and police chief dismissed the case and whatnot, and the officer was seiously punished...
