Will i get hassled when I take my car in for safety inspections,if I have a cf hood?

 

You shouldn't. if you do, find a new inspection center.

 

ummm never heard anything like that... i think u should be fine

 

tell them it's fake CF vinyl

 

tell em its JDm

 

ive never heard of cf hoods being illegal

 

anything aftermarket or that doesnt come stock on a car is pretty much illegal.... as far as gettin in trouble for it ... I highly doubt it....

 

my friend got a ticket for his volks ... he hit a pot hole and bent his rim and was cited for defective equipment

 

You should be fine, just as long as its not some crazy ass hood that only covers half your motor.

 

When I ordered my carbon fiber hood I had no way of picking it up without putting it on my car. So I called the Sheriff's office and told them that I was replacing my oem hood with a cf hood, and if it was illegal to drive without a hood on. He checked with three officers and told me to go head and drive like that, not illegal. His reasoning was that even though metal hoods absorb some of the impact during a crash, it is not necessary for it to be on the vehicle to operate it safely. Which indirectly means that cf hoods won't absorb a crash impact as well as an oem hood, but still there is nothing illegal about them. If any inspection centers give you hell over this, just get their name and location and report them to the transportation dept. saying they're harrasing you. pz
