I say WOULD give you a ticket for. I'm not saying CAN give you a ticket for. I have mods on my jeep that a cop could give me a ticket for if he wanted to. Stupid stuff like not having covers on my roll bar lights on the roof. But it's all mild and tame enough stuff that 99% of cops would not be bothered to hassle me for. I'm sure most of us on our cars have things that ride or exceed the line for what's within the letter of the law. We just count on not being called on it.

If you don't agree, refer to #1!!! 8459316-10646784_10203385428728855_7669343271480236940_n.jpg (38 downloads) "Livin' in a powder keg and givin' off sparks" 4 Street cars, 5 Race engines

Everything else works and has been street driven at least 1000 miles a year. I don't haul much in it other than my worthless carcass but I figure it's a street legal.Dave
