yea your right on the texaco, the less official the person doing the inspection is the better

as for flush mounts they are illegal... the law states they have to protrude out past the body work, 99% of dealers wouldn't care, but like i said our cock of a state trooper supervising our dealer forces us to go by the books, the other day he asked why our head light calibrator was dusty, he said we had to calibrate all headlights to make sure they are pointing at the exact perfect angle or else we can't pass inspection on it, but the tech's still don't pay any mind to that
