Rob Myers Lmao, nah, that's no good :p we gotta also think cost. If we keep them just text it'll be a lot cheaper. Things like pedo bear will make it so much more expensive

@fakamean: what are you up to this sunday? Before I go skating I'm prolly gonna go to the hobby shop on hickam to install my new rear shocks (they should be in today). Its an easy job but it'll give us a chance to meet at least.
This sunday i'm going to hanama bay? the tourist beach where you go under water to see turtles and cool looking fish. but yeah, rear shocks is so easy, gotta love the solid rear axle. are you lowering the car?

Ahhh the dreaded hawaii state driving laws . First of you CAN keep your out of state plates but you have to get a giant blue decal put on your car to keep them. Recon is required if you have any suspensuion mods or if you get wheels 1.5 inches larger than stock. There is only one inspection ofice for recon and its by appt only (and they are usually booked a few months in advanced so book early remind me later and I can get you the phone number). to pass recon you must have all of your lights stock no tint etc. They will measure from the ground uo to your headlights and from the ground up to your licence plate. They are required to be a certain distance from the ground, but I forget what it is, just ask when you call. No HID's or tinted tails (you will fail both recon and saftey inspections with those) plus when they push down on the front and back of your car they have to get at least an inch of movement or you fail. Luckily the recon inspection is a one time thing so once you pass you're good to go. We also have an annual safety inspection. Basically for the safety inspection everything has to work like it did out of the factory. All your lights, your horn, your brakes/ebrake, you wipers and wiper fluuid, etc. Luckily almost every gas station and garage does safety inspections and some are strict some can give a ****. The main thing is if you have mods you need a recon to pass safety. Oh! Also they check your window tint and if its too dark, no dice. The legal limit is 35%

There's more to it, but that's basically everything you need to know in a nutshell...

So first you need to register your car or get that blue decal cuz you need registration to get recon, then you need to get recon, then you need both your reg and your recon to get your safety

Matters if a cop wants to be a dick. Me and richard both have tinted tails and nothings happened yet. Just as long as your lights are stock for the inspection. Again tho they ARE illegal so your experience might vary. Having out of state tags might help you out of a ticket tho. You can easily claim complete ignorance to the law when he pulls you over. :p
