i finally got my bar sticker today. it went very smoothly. i had a 10:40 appt at skyline college and i came 10 minutes late due to a car accident on the freeway, but the guys were cool. it took about 40 minutes to complete the test. first, they checked the motor, ecu, and did the visual. the visual went pretty fast, they didn't really get all technical and refer to any books or anything. it looked like they only checked for a cat, and skimmed over all of the other things. after, they did the tailpipe test. finally, they checked for any cel codes, and then pressure tested my gas cap. after all that, they gave me my sticker. it was easier than i thought.

i would recommend going to skyline college.

here are my tailpipe test numbers if anyone cares:

thanks everyone and to those that have their stickers, doesn't it feel great to know you're bar'd? what a relief. even though i just got bar'd my car is gonna be illegal again. its time for BOOST!

 

Bar sticker to a CA car is like Green Card to illegal Resident.
