    Here in NC we don’t have to go through that...... yet. Hope you get it passed soon. Car looks great . At first I thought you had a dent in the passenger door already.... at closer look I noticed it’s just a reflection. Lol

    I'm going thru the same thing with my GLX. It passed flawlessly the last 2 times, but this time, it passed emissions, but failed the smog due to a high idle condition. I had to order an idle stop solenoid (or something like that) that they said would take care of it. Carburated cars need extras too.

    since I installed a powerdyne blower and 42lb injectors with MAS it was running WAY to rich (stock A9L) so I installed the stock 19lb and MAS and it passed really good..... oh but that smog place were just staring at all my bolt on parts till I showed them my C.A.R.B. E.O.# list and they backed away lol
