Next time, pull out your owner's manual and flip about 4 pages into it and show it to the cop.

I was just followed by a Milwaukee sheriff about 2 hours ago, I know he was running my plates because he stayed right behind me for about a mile then ducked off somewhere. Never really had a problem with Milwaukee county police or sheriff, it's all the suburbs you have to watch out for.

if it is sold from a dealership, there is no way it is illegal. otherwise, it can't be sold on the market. it has proven it's safety and drivability before it goes on sale in domestic market. the cop is dumb, and unreasonable.

My 87 year old mother in law was with me. She talked him out of giving me a ticket. I was taking her home after spending Xmas with the family in Minnesota.
Where I am going with this is finding another trunk lid. Will 2003 or 2004 trunk lids fit an 2005 Evo? I was going to use a used trunk lid. I'm guessing carbon fiber is spendy.

I know the dealership by my house is equiping all their '05 Evos with LED underbody kits. I saw a blue '05 being test driven at night with blue LED's on, and everyone knows it's illegal to have blue exterior lights on their car.
