Obviously you're targeted already anyways, I would at least have to make a formal complaint to the pd, if not a fullblown lawsuit. I understand where you're coming from, you just want to cruise around in your ride in peace, and you don't need the added attention, but obviously they have something against you/your car.......

How many different officers was it that pulled you over?
The problem with where I live, is that it's right on the border of the city versus the county, so Literally, you could step five feet and you would be in a different jurisdiciton.

Tucson City police are by far the nicest guys around. They do try and bait me into admitting that I've done something wrong, ie they ask me "do you know why I pulled you over", but they usually never try to argue me into a ticket, or lie their way into one.

Pima County Sherrif's dept are a whole different story. They are by far the most power hungry cops I've ever met, they allways remind me of cartman and "respect mah authoratah". I was once lost, and trying to find my way back to town, and so I saw headlights so I pulled over to ask them for direction, and it was a sherrif and I was given a ticket for "disturbing the peace".

I went to court and the Judge laughed in the face of the officer who wrote me a ticket, and dismissed it right there and then.

I've probably been pulled over in the last year and a half (slightly more than that now) about a good 30-40 times, and I can tell you that roughly 80% of those guys are sherrifs.

I've only gotten one ticket, and it was the "disturbing the peace" one. We don't have a noise ordinance, but I always drive with the windows down, and I guess they must think that I'm a punk driving a fast car? Who knows.

The problem with filing a complaint is that if I were to do so, it would almost seem like I'm asking for trouble, living in the county and such. If I lived in the city, I wouldnt hesitate to file a complaint against the county sherrifs, but living in the county, no thanks.

Arizona is crazy with their law enforcement, especially in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. I think the sleeper look would be great for your car, especially if you had the V6 Bumper and stock rims. I'm trying to make my car a sleeper, just have to add a bit more hp and a stock catback and I'll be set. Sounds like a cool plan though.

Seriously, phoenix is horrible. I refuse to drive through it. If I have to go anywhere up state I usually take the bypass route so I don't have to deal with them.

Hell, before I was doing my own tuning I wouldn't even drive up there for the tune, I'd have the car flat-bed'd up there.

Yep! I love all the speed cameras set up all along the highways. If you go any faster than 65, you're guaranteed to get a ticket. It's the one place where I would buy a $500 radar, and I don't even speed.

I dont think the avg. person would notice your car as a monster as it sits now. I would question a few things....esp. if I could hear your blower. The shaved badging(not JUST removal w/ the hole there) is suspicious IMHo. I think the stock GT look is a good idea too if you are looking for races. Even an exhaust on at GT is common IMHO.

Alright, so I think that everyone has pursuaded me to keep the car exactly as is, so here are a couple pictures that do the car a little more justice, but I need a better camera to do the car any justice at all




This weekend, me and a very good friend are having a professional photoshoot with a couple, umm, well endowed models posing with the car, so I'll post those pictures up as well when I get them

I would sure as hell hope you wouldnt hold out on us!!!!

Its almost sickening to look at your car and think that its a 600whp monster. I think you already have the sleeper look in full effect.
