5mph over isn't going to get you pulled over no matter what you drive.
I got pulled over for doing 70MPH in a 65MPH on the I-5. CHP just yelled at me for a minute then walked away without checking my license or anything. Weirdo..

I get pulled over all the time with my car, AND my car likes to get vandalized by jelous people. If your car really stands out then you might become a victim of either of these. You just have to think about if it is worth it or not. Sometimes I don't know if it is[&o]

As a statistical study I've received 2 tickets in the last 2 years. 1 in my wife's Mazda and one in my Mustang. I drive 10 X more miles in my car than hers.

So theoretically, modding your car will lead to LESS tickets.

I have 5% tint and drive by cops all the time, no issues. Actually my last 2 stangs had it too so figure 10years. Maybe they are nicer in FL I dont know.

I am always going back and forth between building a "show car" or sleeper. Its hard to decide. Since I drive my car everyday I was thinking if I spent too much on visual mods I would just get p'od when I get that first rock chip in my nice paint job. Plus the possiblity of more police attention as well as jealous people who want to deface your car.

Plus a stock looking silver stang that can woop on vettes is kind of fun too.
