How is everyone passing recon when they lower their car? Isn't the lowest you can go 12" from the bottom of the license plate to the ground? I measured it stock and it's exactly 12" from the ground so how are you guys passing recon when you lower your cars? Do you just raise it back up once a year to get the safety check and then lower it again after getting the safety check?

 

there's a safety check every year?

 

i thought it was 22" from the center of the headlights...?? well thats what it is in CA...

 

Not all states have a yearly safety check, so it is going to depend upon your situation where you live. No such yearly safety checks in CA...

 

Wow... I thought Hawaii was the only place that had that dumb recon law... but yeah... The top of the license plates do have to be 12" from the ground. The center of the headlights have to be 22" from the ground... But I think they have exceptions now... Like the S-10 Xtreme trucks... The plates were design way lower than 12" from the ground...

 

aloha jdinspired,
i'm in Hawaii
jeez....it seems like the other states have it more relaxed when it comes to this stuff. how come hawaii is so strict?

 

well Hawaii isn't THAT strict. theres no helmet law in Hawaii, right?! THATS JUST CRAZY!!!

i was in Texas on business for a week and saw a biker on a Harley in the fwy W/O A HELMET!!! imagine if he fell!!??

 

recon ? What's that? If they had such laws in IL, none of my previous cars would
pass...
