San Jose Bay Area: Smog Check places w/ visual approval for intake!
What up Bay Area Fam.
So It's time for registration fees and I need a smog check. I never had an intake before and assuming that i have the carb legal sticker on my AEM short ram for my '05 IS300, i thought it'd be fine.
So i got my smog check, and they failed the visual test because my carb sticker was for an '01 IS300, not for an '05. I still ended up passing the functional test and emission test, just not the visual part.
Called AEM, they said they didn't make a carb sticker for '05 models, only '01-'04.
so.....does anyone know a shop that will visually pass the smog check in the San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas area?
either that or I guess I have to find an OEM intake and reinstall it.
any help would be great. I need this within the next three weeks.
