I like to go to the VEIP when it's dark at the end of someones shift. Last time I went the guy didn't check the gas cap, no visual, no VIN check, just took my ticket typed up the information did and OBDII check and passed me. Could of passed for one truck in a different truck!

Inspection is the worst. I had to weld a piece of 3" driveshaft tubing behind my roll pan since roll pans are illegal in utah... There is no way my truck would pass the emissions in Nevada so I have to register it in Utah. Now I have no tint on my windows, I have to replace the headlights, and tail lights every time I get it inspected. Last time I took it to a different shop to get inspected and they guy didn't even look at it. Just wrote down the milage and gave me the keys back. So I will be going back to him from now on

LOL, so much **** is illegal on mine, tint is too dark, brow is to tall, no cats...gotta love friendly inspectors.
I've been told to just roll down my windows and pull a fuse, and tell them it is a work in progress, window motors are last on the list...never tried.
Always try to catch them when they are busy. But in the end, if you fail for being illegal, gotta deal with it, we all know it's wrong. Also, not sharing where you go is ideal!

X2, on NOT sharing your hookup..ALL of the safety stuff (Rollpans,lights,exhaust exit,wipers,etc.) you guys mentioned, They could give a F#c$ about in CA..They are looking for ALL oe smog equipment intact..Thern you need a obd check...And then you have to pass the sniffer..
A funny story..I go to get my current truck smogged to a arab guy a friend with a built Fox goes.. I have NO egr, plus a h/c ls1 with full bolt ons ans a big rv muffler (quiet) after my cutout.. I just come in as a reg customer and he pops the hood and runs a obd2 scan...20 seconds later he calls me over in a arab accent says.."I dont understand my friend, You dont have any of your egr system, No catalytic converters, and race pipes ...But there are no check engine lights and your truck runs good" lol.. I just said..I dont know..thats how I bought it..and he said "Do you know how much it is going to cost to smog this" and I said "will $350 cover it" and he says "I will see what I can do" I was out of there 10 minutes later with my sticker But never once did we talk about anything..ready to get the hell out of COMIfornia
