So my TX inspection is nearly due. Has anyone ever had problems with:
- Tinted fronts
- Tinted rears
- Smoked front reflectors
It looks like these all are technically illegal.
If anyone here is in West Houston and knows a friendly neighborhood inspection place let me know ;)
Also damn I just read this:
ASM Emissions Test
What is ASM2 and how does it work?
This test uses a dynamometer, which measures emissions under simulated driving conditions. In a sense, it's like a treadmill stress test for your vehicle. This tailpipe test is a cost-effective way to get very accurate, realistic results. A vehicle will fail the test if there is an excessive amount of Hydrocarbon, Carbon Monoxide or Oxides of Nitrogen.
Please note that 4 wheel drive vehicles will continue to receive the current Two-Speed Idle test. If your vehicle fails the ASM test, you can return to the same public inspection station within 15 days of your initial test for a free retest.
In my county (Harris) I will be getting sniffed. Fingers crossed about the 034 HFC :S
