I've been thinking of entering the ride in a car show. Just wondering if anyone has been hassled for illegal mods after entering one.

If the cops in Cali hit the shows so they can look for cars without smog equipment then that state is more screwed up than I could ever have imagined.

I know friends that have gone to car shows, but not entered their vehicle and been pulled over and fined. I have never heard of someone entering their car and getting popped for illegal car parts or modified emissions controls. I would not leave my plates displayed through the day if parked on private property, but if the police officer really wanted to know vehicle info they would just run your VIN #.

Cops love to race too. Just don't do anything stupid.
I don't think will a LEO will pop the hood to see what's going on. Then again, maybe things have changed since I left CA.

Cops will typically keep that type of stuff out of public shows...

They don't want that type of negative attention with that many people around.
