5.5 Gen
Dropped (Progress springs), clear corners with colored bulbs, 5th Gen SE tails...
Had a GReddy Evo, now with Berk intake, Cattman Y, and Frankencar cat-back...
Both times I was pulled over were BEFORE I had any mods... one was for doing 89 in a 55 and the other was turning right on No Turn on Red...

EDIT: Wait, I've been pulled over! The description should explain why I forgot it, maybe....
Pulled over: Once
Gen: 4th
Cosmetic Mods: Clear Corners, Red/Clears, 6000k HIDs
Noise Pollution: Nope
Charges: None. Pulled over for blown headlight (SilverStar POS), searched illegally, glass 'tobacco' pipe found and soonthereafter returned after pointing out their illegal search. Sent on my way with a warning for both violations.
I **** on small town cops - in my area, they know more about bullying than they know about the law.

Pulled over once
cosmetic mods : clear corners, 22%tint all but windshield
perf mods : berk intake, cattman catback
got a ticket for doing 92 in a 65....some *** in a malibu was riding my bumper and would not stop. i was gonna pull away from him in traffic. cop pulls me over and tells me i stopped you because i clocked you going 92 while weaving through traffic. he also pulled over the dude driving the malibu because he saw him cut me off and was also speeding. officer was nice about everything. after he gave me the ticket he asked what my license plate means(VQ Power). I told him the engine series...
pulled over quite a few times in my b13 sentra. completely stock in every aspect. mostly by the same cop in the same area. i think he had something against me...never figured out what. I did get one ticket for loud radio in that car.

I got pulled once when a copper heard my tires sqeel in. even though i was going 80mph in a 45, he didnt clock me. let me off with a warning. but i have no cosmetics, and few mods. i have a 2000 gxe tan colored family sedan. Im invisible... hahahaha
i have been pulled over 4 times.one for speeding,which i paid off. two for loud exhaust and another for speeding but he give me a warning. i guess the cop was in a good mood cuz i was going 42 on 35 and ive could have easily got another speeding ticket.

In almost 2 years of driving, pulled over 3 times. All related to speeding.
Car: No major mods which would attract cops. 35% tint, ypipe, lowered, system, rsb, fstb, etc). I now have rims.
1st time: Paced going 70 on 50. Was really going faster, cop knew it also, but was let off with a warning.
2nd time: Nailed at a back-road trap, 50 on a 35. Everyone speeds on this road.
At court, judge dropped it since I already took a driver improvement course and it was my first ticket.
3rd time: Just came back from court last week. Speeding 85 on a 50, on laser. I was afraid I'd get my license suspended, luckily I wasn't 18 yet, so I went to juvenile court with my mom so that helped. Will be reduced to speeding 0-9 of limit if I have a clean record for the next 6 months and take that horrible 8 hour class again.

Pulled over three times - Once in my friend's Mustang (He was in my Maxima and got pulled over at the same time - both of us were speeding down some side streets), once in my 2001, and once in my 2002. All the times were from speeding, but I only got ticketed once. It wasn't fun.
Once
Third Gen
Tinted Clear Corners
No Performance Mods Just Audio
Warning - SIgn malfunction (?)
Three Cops jump out of the car surround my car with hands on their holsters and are like roll down your window and give me license and registration. I'm like WTF I didn't even do anything I couldn't be speeding becuase I was making a turn and was at a stop sign. One cop was like you know your heading down the wrong way on a one way street. I was looking around like where's the sign. He's like oh my fault it's on the ground I gotta call someone to put it back up. I was then like why is it down there and he told me that they were lookin for a black male inside of a black sedan that had been involved in a chase within the past 30 minutes and he ran up the curb while makin a turn. The curb was small and it looks about 1.5 inches off the ground so I can see that happening. When three cops jump out on you like they did me you'll be close to crappin yourself or makin a run because you know you're innocent but do they. LOL.

I'd like to hear what they have to say they look for.If two cars are speeding, one is a car with tinted windows, loud fart muffler, and whatever else, the other is a minivan, you tell me what you think is going to get pulled.
Kids with aftermarket muffers always ask, "Why do cops always target us." Take a wild guess. If a LEO can hear your car inside his car, that is not a good thing. It is not only annoying, it is illegal. This not only goes for imports, but all cars.
Tinted windows are also a target. We don't know why your windows are tinted or what you have behind them. Usually if it is late at night and cop sees a car drive by with tinted windows, your going to get pulled over, questions, and possibly stuck with a fine, espically if you have a loud muffler. In CT, it is a $136 fine for illegally tinted windows.
If your car is loud, it is a target. If an officer cannot see the driver inside your car, you are a target. If you are speeding, you are a target and the rest is common sense.

just once since I got my 04 Max last sept. the reason? because I didnt have a license plate. I told the officer that the reason I didnt have a plate was because i just bought my car the day before. it was 11pm and I guess he first noticed my car cos it was still so squeaky clean and shiny, then he saw that I didnt have a plate, so he pulled me over. I showed him the documents so he let me go. maybe he thought I stole it or something! but i was ok with it.

3rd Generation
Chrome wheels, tints and clear corners
Exhaust and stereo
In this car I was pulled over for: stereo excessive noise x7, loud exhaust x5, have something hanging from the rear view mirror x1, tinted front windows x9, clear front turn signals x2, having a license plate light out (which lead to vehicle being searched) x1, speeding x5 (2 of which lead to vehicle being searched), illegal turn, having front monitor on while driving (which lead to vehicle being searched), blue colored headlights x3, illegal u turn.. Out of all of these times of being pulled over I only got about 3 to 4 tickets! It was obvious they were just pulling me over to make sure I wasnt causing trouble or dealing something. It got so bad my parents (being I was 16-18) had to go to the police station with me and my pay check stubs/report cards to show that I was a decent kid..
