Mods in CA?

What's up guys, I've been trying to do some research on what I can do with my car in California but can't find anything. What mods can you do legally?

I've been pulled over before. Suspension, HFC, dark tints, intake, exhaust, no front plate; didn't have a problem. A lot of it will have to do with how much of a little wanker you're being and the cop that's pulling you over.

Front tint has got to be the most ticketed offense in CA. After so many tickets, I finally took them off for good. For all you guys with no front plate, consider getting one of the flip out mounts. Hfc you can get away with, most cops can't tell the difference

What part of CA are you from? Cops in my area don't look twice at tint unless you're driving like a mad man. I've sat next to cops at stoplights with my windows up and everything.
