I had some insight to your problem, but after reading the entire post in (almost) all caps, my head began to hurt, and i forgot what I was going to say.

that is not legal where I live, and probably not legal in CT either (although I'm not 100% sure), but it does vary by state law, and who is inspecting your car that day. Most areas have an inspection center that is known for being more laid back about mods. If I were you, I would try to find one of those places.

It's your car, I don't see why not. I've never heard anyone in my state (WA) run into this problem.

Is your steering wheel removable? If not, I would've gotton one.. It's a great way to prevent theft.

yeah it was a ticket, and some snotty older-bad-cop BS. But anyway about the steering wheel being removable, yeah, it is, it takes about half a second to remove it with a quick-release HUB.

Cool, I would get a lock on the Hub, as common as the QR's are these days, It would take nothing to get in someones car with the same wheel and release and drive off. Not say that everyone has the capability of doing that, but you never know, theives will go to some extremes to get what they want. Layer your security and sleep well at night, that's what I did and I couldnt be happier.

BTW I got pulled over with my temp stock steering wheel without an airbag here in Cali and the officer could have given a **** less about it.

Yeah, the only locks out are the Rapfix locks which I think are sold on Password JDM's site or the NRG's that just came out. The NRG's are really nice and really simple to put on and take off. I know someone who sells them. PM' me if you want the info...
