I'm lucky enough to have not been pulled over by the police for tint or clear corners. however, I'm constantly reading threads about people being stopped for those violations. I'm curious to see what mods have attracted the most attention from the police.

 

In my area of Jersey, it's definitely tint.

 

2 speeding tickets, no tickets for mods yet... although when I add a y-pipe to the GReddy cat-back already on the car... that might change...

 

got pulled over for loud exhaust .. but i guess running a cut-out stright pipe is pretty loud.. i showed him how my electric peice worked and he said "o nice where can i get that for my truck" so my {pull over} ended up being a friendly chat about cars.. HAHA

 

I got haggled for sticking a 5 foot ***** out my sunroof.

 

Gsilk i thought tint was legal in south carolina...thast where your from right?
the only thing i got in trouble for was tint...but it i wasn't even in my car i was inside the store...the cop waited outside till i got to the car...
****ing cops there is like no crime around where i live so i guess they have to get money some how

 

yeah, they tend not to like that....

 

in the max, i only got stopped for speeding and he mentioned that i didnt have a front plate. thankfully that is what my ticket was for. my accord i got stopped for tint/no front plate once and got a warning, and then for clear corners in the rear once and got a ticket. that was it for a period of 2 years (9 months plateless).

in my first accord, everytime i went thru one particular town, i got a tint ticket, a lights ticket, a seatbelt ticket, something. it had to come close to a dozen tickets til i figured out another way to get to where i was going. that was the worst.

He should know that a sunroof is to let light & air in or flick cigarette butts out. Not stand up and look out.

 

It was a joke fellas....

 

btw Epacy, you got haSSled, not haGGled, haha.

but dont sweat it, i frequently drive with my ***** out the sunroof...is there another way?

 

So was my responce...

 

^ lol. i think that went over some people's head.

i've been eyed pretty hard by a cop for driving in the city with just the dde's on, but i think/hope it was just out of admiration.

normally i'll turn down my music if i see police or if i'm driving through an area where i sense they may be overly sensitive to loud music. that's a mod you can directly control.

 

 

yeah i get haggled for that all the time, some people just don't understand......

 

im only in SC for college. i live in CT where tint is also legal....just a lighter % then what i got done in SC.

 

Around here....tint darker than about 35%....big fat loud ricer exhaust tips......clear corners on dark colored cars stick out like sore thumbs.

But really, if you're driving legally (i.e. no excessive speed, no reckless cornering, no running stop signs, etc...) the police generally won't stop you for cosmetic things.

 

umm my right foot gets me in trouble.

 

I have avoided all tickets by simply rolling down my window & showing the officer I was white............

 

That is "White with fear" of actually getting a ticket....................

 

Mentioning you have family with the police helps too.

 

I got pulled over once for staring a cop.

it was a asian cop, that motherfuxxer pulling over a asian brotha........

anywayz reason for pull over was for suspicious act.

i mean wtf? just for stating at him?

and that ***** gave my friend a ticket for no seat belt........thank god i had mine on.

 

noticing how charlotte north kakalaky and rock thrill south kakalaky area doesn't pull much for tint........you've pretty much gotta giv'em a reason to, and they could use tint as a bonus when writing your pink slip.

 

speeding, underbody neons, speeding, wreckless driving, speeding, illegal lane change, speeding, improper equip, speeding, noise violations, speeding, impersonating an officer, and last but not least........SPEEDING!
yeah i got my car in feb. i have been pulled over 28 times. i have relatives in the highway patrol though. (mississippi copsare nice for the most part)

wow that's a lot of times for a 17 year old...

have you learned your lesson yet?

 

true. cops in rock hill are busy fighting gangs and murderers so they don't have time to pull over people will illegal corner lights. thats a good thing.

 

ok, dec minus february equals 11 months (give or take one). 28 times pulled over divided by 11 months equals... holy crap dude?! Do you alot time for getting pulled over on the way to school?! heheheh

As for me, no mods yet, and my right foot is recovering from Toyotean muscular dystrophe (aka, the 'Yota was slow, but I'm starting to drive faster). I'd like to start with fogs, tint, or SE style tail lights. I don't think those should get me in too much trouble...

 

I show them my teacher id, and they let me go... figure I have excuse to drive like a wombat...

 

Don't drive to attract attention and you wont have any problems, such as what preacher (irish) said earlyer and cops will leave you alone. I had a cop tell me my car "looks real slick, keep it slow and steady young man, slow & steady"

 

tint and rims attract cops around here

 

Yeah...modded cars seem to get pulled over more than stock cars...

My friend with a modded camaro got pulled over for doing 94 in a 55 and his friend which was behind him was doing well over 100 in a stock eclipse didn't get pulled over...

 

Hence why I drive the sleeper sedan even though I really thought I 'needed' a Camaro a few months ago.

Anyway, it seems like a lot of people are taking their mods OFF their Maximas (ie muffler, intake, etc) because it actually hurts performance. (See the 'worst mods' thread)
