Im getting ready to move to the west coast (from texas), and its about time for my inspection. Anyone think a tx inspection sticker will hold up in Cali? Im thinking not, so i might as well go ahead and ask how much it costs to get my baby inspected out there?

 

It will not hold up. You will need to get your car inspected in CA. CA has the strictest emission laws in the US, so make she your car is running in top shape or put your stock parts back.

 

if u can pass smog, u'll be fine... make sure all your parts have a CARB #, or put it back to stock.

 

does this apply even with out-of-state (non-Cali) registration?

 

Yes, welcome to what we Californians get to deal with every day. WHAT a pain in the a$s

 

yeah,it's a pain..i came from Va and had an AEM cai..and most smog stations looked at my engine bay and said it was not gonna pass until i called around and found a way..
