A guy from the state just came by my work. He said they wont be installing cameras at my dealer and they said nothing will change as far as visual inspection goes or car mods.

That's awesome l.

For reference....here is the state's official presentation on the new state inspection program to take effect this fall.

I saw this thread a couple weeks ago and blew it off, just went too my normal guy who has passed my exhaust for years.(straight piped but I'm a 99 so no emissions). He wouldn't touch the car and said stuffs changing around here. So looks like something is going too come of all this and it's going to suck.

New inspection program starts October 1st, last week to get your cars inspected under the old MA inspection regulations before the new rules take effect on Sunday.

Heading on Thursday to grab a sticker. Not taking a chance on this one.

My sticker is up in October, I'll let you guys know how I make out

I guess it's about time I finally get one of those removable front plate brackets though

So the emission process plug in is still going to be the same.. Visually the state will have 5 camera's around the vehicle. The state wants picture's front and rear of vehicle including instrument cluster picture. So three picture's in total. Tint is also going to be scrutinized heavily!! Good luck guys!!

FOCK EM!! Don't get a sticker and avoid being pulled over at all costs...simple

Got my sticker this morning and glad I did. My "guy" said come Monday don't come back because he wouldn't even try.

This was the last year for emissions for my 04 so after next years safety inspection I am going LT's, EGR delete and a bunch of other crap being removed.

I got my sticker in June. Getting my car out of MA to IN here with me at school come May once I finish courses, as I will be here for the summer. Just going to fill the out of state exemption form and eventually register it out here. Done with the crap back home. No emissions, or safety out here. DMV looks at your VIN, and sends you on your way.

I wonder if all or more states will do the same?

Also another question. Green plates were grandfathered in years ago not requiring a front plate, is that going to stay the same, or are you going to need to trade in your green and get a Front/Back red plate? Only reason I ask is one of cars at home has a green plate still.

For MA inspections you need both front and back plates.

I'm interested to see how this all works out. MA already had one major failure when they tried the dyno inspections.

Not true for the green plates, according to the guy I go to.

That is one of the points of having the camera system, to verify if a car has two plates - red, or one plate - green.

Ahhhhh,.........I see. My bad.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Nope, the other states constituents won't put up with this type of nonsense.

Typical MA, a pocket lining money grab for the systems manufacturers with patronage admin jobs full of nieces and nephews of state lawmakers with imperceptible impact on safety or emissions.

Remember when we had Registry Police? That was their job to give out sticker tickets.....
