Hey guys, was just wondering if I should worry about this law invading the rest of the car moding community? Im not sure and no ones really mentioned that concern in this thread.

They will probably add some stipulation like 2" or more, greater than stock, is illegal. I do think the “donks” look completely unsafe, mainly the stupid tall ones.

In NYS I believe its no bodyline can be below the lowest spot of your rim. Solution, lower profile tires!

Lower profile tires would lower the car as a whole and would offer no help to you if your body panels are already lower than your rim, however a bigger wheel with lower profile tires would help.

some serious bullshit laws on there, eh? how do ppl pass when their entire car is just falling apart from rust and the holes are so big and extensive you can see the interior. it just looks like a block of cheese that was attacked by hungry rodents, but its completely legal to drive and lose parts on highways for us to hit. :retardclap:retardclap

Ah yes the classic - avoid the parts flying at you from rusted cars game.

You really are going to complain there aren’t enough laws? :facepalm

Go further North in states and you won’t pass for rust at all.

Then have fun finding a cheap winter beater.

And how often does that happen to you? When was the last time? The time before that?

You get hit by rocks and salt on daily basis than you’ve ever had an issue with “parts falling off cars”

No law against it, and it’s perfectly fine. Plenty of laws out there already.

Make it legal to remove the airbag if you have a 5 point harness in it’s place. That’s really the only law I’d like gone right now. Stupid ass airbags.

Who wants to inspect my car with no horn/airbag for me? Kthx.

Seriously! The chance of that happening is so slim. Vot you need to pull your head out of your ass sometimes and think about the questions your asking.
