Man it was more than 30 cars... To be honest it was a cluster F@#$ getting up there. People cutting each other off trying to show off. Dodge Neons getting pulled over for gawd knows what lmao. But I still had a good time. Even though I think the waiter with the phat butt put something in my eggs

Tigger

lol. It wasn't THAT bad. It was a cluster for sure and I think we should depart separately this time. But yeah. Interesting for sure.

Voice59

I agree...lots of cool people. Nice meeting you guys.

Then get a couple of flashlights and mount 'em on the sides.

the dealer was failing me for not having the "z" turn signals on the fenders. I've had my fenders replaced with the RS1 fenders by fly1.

I don't think they're reading the state code right.
Just because it came with the car doesn’t mean it is required.
If they are failing 370Zs then they should be failing 350Zs too.
350Zs side logos don't light up.

I don't see anything about side indicator lights being required in the state code.
LIS > Administrative Code > 19VAC30-70-190

I researched the VA car safety code before modding my lights.
Got to keep those dealers in check.

Read through the code again.
They could get you on your front indicator conversion.
Not your side indicators.

"D. Inspect for and reject if:......

14. Any vehicle has wire, unapproved lens or plastic covers, any other materials that are not original equipment or any colored material placed on or in front of the signal device (intention to stop or turn), hazard lights or stop lamp."

This has me concerned about my tinted taillights.
At least my taillights are the JDM clear taillights so even with light tinting they are still very bright.
Also I have my OEM tail lights on hot standby just in case.

There's a caveat to that code. If the brake lights can be seen from 500 feet away with good brightness/illumination then it can still pass inspection.

Now when I had my TSX, they failed me for having a crack in the fog light. I went home, ripped the front end off and removed the fog lights. Took it back and it passed. So if you apply the same logic then it shouldn't be an inspected item. Not all cars have side markers like that.

VABAM

I'm only a little concerned.
My taillights should pass unless the inspector is an ***.

And if I remember correctly indicators and backup lights only need to be visible at 100 feet.
