MD State Inspection
 
Hey guys, I need some help. I got a heavily modded out 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, my mods are, lambo doors, after market fenders, after market hood, wings west body kit, custom painted head & tail lights, and custom paint along with a massive fiberglassed stereo system.

The issue that I have is, I moved here from Florida, and in that state, we dont have state inspections, here in Maryland we do, and these guys are not messing around, my car stands zero chance of passing inspection, I've all ready tried. The mechanic laughed at me, pretty much.

Does anyone know of a Mechanic that I could pay on the side to pass my car, so I can get Maryland tags, ASAP? Please, Please, Please PM me or reply on here. Thank you kindly.:driving:

I can't imagine your mods blocking an inspection???

Reading carefully, seems like your head/tail lights may not pass.

If you fail an inspection, they are supposed to provide a repair list.

Keep the FL tags, I would and did for many year in VA. That way you don't need no inspection.

Bro, trust me, I would loooove to keep Florida tags on my car, but Maryland law is once you reside in the state, you gotta change over your plates within 60 days, which is sooo much BS, but it is what it is, they wanna get paid.

Hey is the same in VA. So you would running your chances. I did it for years and never got caught. Now since I bought the car in VA I'm stuck.

No, it doesn't. Move to the District, like your location implies. DC inspection is much easier.

MD is basically impossible to pass inspection. The ordeal my friend went through to get a stock '98 M3 through MD inspection was laughable. I mean, they failed it for EVERYTHING.

I lived in Rockville for a year when I first moved here and kept my cars registered in Illinois, IL drivers license, etc. I got pulled over for speeding twice during that time (once in MD) and when the cop questioned my license, I just said that I was a contractor here temporarily. Didn't even question that.
