Sorry guys its a bit long...
I heard something i think is weird today and i was wondering if this had happened to anyone else or if you heard of it. I say this becuase it concerns my ride. A friend of mine owns a body shop and he said that he needed to put the front hood and back trunk emblem back onto a civic that he had painted. He said that the cops had pulled the guy over and gave him a warning that he needed the emblems on his car.
Why this concerns my ride is that its in for a fresh coat of paint, and ive shaved all the emblems off, shaved the trunk and its about to be painted so i was like what the ----?
ps. my cars and thge other guys car are bioth honda civics

check the laws over there, you're in montreal canada right?
here in the USA it isn't illegal.

I could see why they would require it though, if by chance the vehicle was involved in a crime, and eye witness ca say, 'it was a black Chevy monte carlo' rather than, 'um officer I don't know what to tell you, all I know is that it was a black car.'

So it may be illegal, but it is hardly ever enforced if it is. I wouldn't worry about it. I'd still roll with out them, it they bitch for them, just put a small stiker on or something. I have a few from my R/C cars that are the size of a dime

I'm in Ontario Canada. I have gotten pulled over for safety checks due to street racing in the area. (wasn't racing, just drving at the wrong time of the day I guess) and they did not mention anything. Most custom painted cars in my area have no emblems.

I actually got a parking ticket at my friends school and the make of car she put down was "Honda(perhaps)". We had a goot laugh about that one!

AgentMurdoc

haha, that's funny. Never heard of anything like that before. I wonder what kind of hard time these conversion cars give. I remember an eclipse that had s2000 tails and jdm silva headlights, with a bodykit. Didn't look like an eclipse no more, it was really hard to tell it was, but yeah, I wonder what a ticket lady would write for that.

Probably what my friend got written for on his ticket..
"Honda Acura"

the only emblem on my truck is on the front and is covered by a frog. when I got a parking ticket they just put toyata pickup, I should have said there's no way it's my car because I have a tacoma, not a pickup.

AgentMurdoc

kyle you shoulda tried it.

I actually got a parking ticket at school for my car. I had no plates on it, so they put down the vin. On their automated system they have my ole plate number, i changed it, and on the ticket they threaten that if it's not paid in 90 days they will report it to the dmv and put a hold on my car's registration. Well I just got my new tags, and I got the ticket in feb. and have yet to pay it. :P I wonder how much it is at now.

they dismissed it because it was my first one, I'll do it if I ever decide to park on campus again. or I'll just take off the license plate and cover the vin with some paper.
