    Question Were you profiled for driving an Evo? Tell me about it here!

    I'm looking for stories of law enforcement targeting you for driving an import car.

    What did they pull you over for originally? Did they make you pop your hood? Did they threaten you with impounding your vehicle?

    Since I'm into modding the Evo and keeping it stealth, I'm trying to gather as much information as I can to keep it low profile.

    I have been pulled over for exhaust on a stock evo. But mostly it has been front plate or exhaust too loud, which it has been so nothing against the law enforcement on that one.

    Imports have been an issue since they first figured it out that they can go fast.

    i can say onely 1 time do i feel i was profiled. i was in the back of a row of cars and the radar was pointed at me(for what i feel was having a big wing). i got pulled over and ticketed for speeding, when i was the one behind the group of cars going the same speed.

    other than that, i deserved getting pulled over every other time cuz i enjoy WOT way too much. never had my hood popped though, and never got any fixits other than tint, licence plate, and exhaust. easy fixes(when u know an officer thatll sign off without having to touch my car )

    I always find it interesting that I've been tagged for no front plate MANY times in both cars (Evo, Integra Type-R) and my friend with the yellow Ferrari 360? Not once.

    I dont drive an Evo, but for every car that I have owned, I have been pulled over many times for exhaust. Even on my Galant I get pulled over for noise violation.

    Ive been pulled for exhaust twice each leading to a ref ticket...cops are annoyed by rice which is the reason they dont hesitate to pull you over. However you can be a cammed, straight piped vette cruisen down the road and the cops will give you a thumbs up...go figure.

    Most cops are domestic hot rodders themselves. That is my opinion and everyone is entitled to it!

    Riced out civics, integras, accords, older lexus and toyotas are annoying to look it. So if I was a cop, I wouldnt hesitate to pull them over and see if they have improper vehicle regulations and etc.
