Modified gs draws to much attention?
#16
Exactly what happened to me in my last car. Cop turned around to follow me, I knew I was getting profiled. He couldn't come up with anything so he also decided to check my window tint. After testing it he said its not legal but its also not worth messing with. It didn't help I was out of state.
I just have all my paper work ready, seat belt on and yes sir no sir.

I was doing 75 in a 35 in a city street because I was sleeping and not paying attention in the CT200h I was loaned from the dealer, cop ran plates, my insurance, gave me verbal warning and told me to go home and sleep..... I'm sure it was partially the fact that I showed him the respect he deserved.
I think it has more to do with the driver than it does the car. Of course, a modified luxury car is going to make the driver stand out even more. As a middle-aged white guy in a lowered 3rd gen GS with tinted windows, I barely get a second look from the police. Last time I was pulled over, I didn't have a current insurance card on me. Cop was like "well, you drive this nice car, I'm sure you have insurance." It also helps I have Law Enforcement Memorial plates on my car. It's gotten me out of more than my share of tickets.

Yup, I got pulled over twice on the freeway just cause the cop noticed the fat exhaust tips on a Lexus! Something they are not used to seeing and immediately assume the car is loud... and boy were they right! LOL
I also couldn't pass inspection last month, so I had to remove the Invidia midpipes!
Keep in mind that I had a very very loud M5, but no one dared ask cause it was a "BMW". And now I have a loud C63 AMG that sounds like a thunder from factory. Cops can't touch me!
