I've been there before but it takes a while to find the spot and I don't care enough to do it for someone else, hahaha lol
cop sent me this.

I think the key words in that code are bumper bar (or crash bar) with sits mid bumper, not at the bottom of the bumper but if you take your factory bumper off you can see the bumper bar, which is mid bumper on my car...

You're right. I work with a Hampton cop, and he said that they are given the right to estimate too. He said that if its close, dont worry about it. But all cops are different. And localities can have different laws than the state.

oh yeah and dropping a car wouldn't be to good, you might break it...
lowering you're car in anyway would be altering the suspension therefor would be illegal.....raising the vehicle would be the same.....but hey man F THE POLICE right?
