Lowest part of your car cant be lower than the lowest part of your wheel. There's also a measurement from the ground to the center of the headlight.

did they actually measure or just tell you it was "too low"?

from the pics it seems like the bodywork is still above the wheels (barely), they would have to get under it to measure anything else, methinks.

this.

that baller ass black TL on the fully polished CCWs that everyone loves is now back to stock. He lives up the street from me. There were 7 county cops that had him pulled over about a mile from where we live. Hassled him about being too low and his wheels being too wide and ticketed him for a bunch of stuff. Now, sadly the car is back to stock.

This one to be precise:

http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc24400.htm

The law speaks... it does not say what part of the head light is 22" from the ground.so if any part of the light is 22"...you know what to tell them.
or lift the car get it signed off and put it back down.

Mine is 19 to the center and just a crack under 22 to the top of the glass

Man i thought they had bigger things to do.

Equipped with at least two headlamps, with at least one on each side of the front of the vehicle, and, except as to vehicles registered prior to January 1, 1930, they shall be located directly above or in advance of the front axle of the vehicle. The headlamps and every light source in any headlamp unit shall be located at a height of not more than 54 inches nor less than 22 inches.

light source, as in the light bulb

id love to see the law about not being able to stretch tires

No we can still have small motors that are colorless and odorless.

In Kalifornya, if you have a mod like tint it is safe to assume you are a street racer, so the same cops who have skills in identifying maple bars and bear claws are now determining if you have illegal modifications to your engine.


I have a friend who got state ref'd for having an oil catch can because the LEO was "pretty sure" it was illegal. :rofl:(
SeanDub
10-22-2009, 12:25 PM
Its actually the exhaust that allows them to pop the hood.


Nic, no we can't have motor swaps. I thought you knew that? We also cant really have anything other than a CARB legal intake under there.

As long as the motor is newer than the body and all the SMOG equipment is intact and up to date with the motor, it's legal.

That is sad, truly sad, I hope i don't get hassled driving down that way next weekend. My wheels def stick out from my fenders

That TL car is truly amazing, gives me ideas cause I own one, but I swore not to mod it...money must go to my M3...damnit.

A few years back I was pulled over 28 times in a 12 month period, FOUGHT EVERY SINGLE TICKET, won every time, after a year of fighting and filing complaints every time I was cited I quit getting pulled over.

*headlight height
*tail light height
*ride height
*illegal modification exhaust
*illegal modification suspension
*license plate height
*destruction of public property (visibly noticed sparks emitting from the lower portion of the vehicle)
*sound pollution
*illegal modificatin of emission control systems

I was even cited once for illegal tires, He claimed the were not rated for my vehicle... Good Year F1's on a 3200lb car?

Some of them I got signed off by repair shops (fix it tickets) one I hired a Lawyer (destruction of public property), and the rest I raised the car 3/4 of a inch and had the state patrol sign an inspection, told the judge that it was at ride height when inspected and the ticket was dropped. the sound tickets I asked to see the decibel meter readings that were takin from my car and the were dropped (exhaust and stereo).

Lowest part of your car cant be lower than the lowest part of your wheel. There's also a measurement from the ground to the center of the headlight.

I had a cop almost cite me for sanding down the dimples in the center of the headlight so he "couldn't measure my ride height". When I told him my headlights were factory and that they never had the dimples he sarcastically told me to show him why they would come on his patrol car and not my car... Guess who felt stupid when the 18 year old showed him his own headlights without dimples :stickoutt

I need to get something that qualifies for "street rod" plates so I can get away with anything.
