Actually, since my next door neighbor is a cop, I had the privelage of looking up state codes (laws) regarding our vehicles.

1. Lowering your car is not illegal in the code book. It is only illegal if the body or exhaust pipe is touching the ground. (ie. REAL low-riders) What is illegal is raising vehicles having the front fender 18" above the ground and the well 24" above the ground. So, if a cop measures your car for being lowered, he's making quota off your ass!

2. Exhaust is legal with baffled muffler. Baffled meaning a dampening material such as cotton? that most performance exhaust do have. There is no mention of decibal limits which best explains the legality of annoying thundrous harley exhausts.

3. Colored lights are illegal. White and amber (turn signals) only up front and white, amber and/or red in the rear! Fog lights are legal regardless of intensity, but should not exceed one pair. Four lamps total are legal (2 headlights, 2 fogs). Fog colors are to be white or yellow only.

That's all I noticed with the brief glimpse I had. If anyone has any inquiries I could probably get the book back from him. Hope this increases your awareness!
