You guys should know what you are asking people to do so you can have an extra 10 hp. Although it is nobody's fault but the shop if they get caught.

We got written up because we replaced some old ladys broken tail light lens with a new part, for over 200 bucks from infinity BEFORE we did the inspection. The state was unhappy that the car wasnt failed first, then re inspected with the new lens.
Had a similar run in with a guy that admited he put the tint on his truck AFTER we inspected it, but the state didnt care, and still came down on us. They were apparently watching the vehicle waiting to see what happened.It may sound ****** but its really not worth sticking your neck out for people anymore.
Bonzo will tell ya, the state will do what it wants to who it wants, and you really cant do much about it. They live in there own world. Most people look at the above situation as "The car WAS fixed properly..its not unsafe, whats the biggie?" Well, im sure he woudl agree, those are only a few of the stupid things the state has done as of late (esp after the gov't shutdown) and its getting tougher every day.
So in respect to your "friends' out there who can "get you stickers", i really wouldnt be shouting them out. If it works for you, fine, but sending someone over to them might mean throwing them under the bus. Your car could be watched by the state, and you wouldnt even know it.
