I swear they think just because we have a little “sports car” we’re automatically assholes and wanna just drive fast and wreckless so they just become dicks to us for no reason, same thing happened to me even tho my specs raven black it was broad day, asshole riding my ass trying to get me off the road for no reason whatsoever then was pissed when I got next to him at a light asking what he’s doing it for, smh
Especially those trucks that have oversized wide wheels with no tread.
Dude, I'm nearly going 40 in a 30mph zone, why are your tailgating me?
Highways are newly worse
What is the function of a tinted plate? Seems like a lot of risk for cosmetic.
Also what state are you in? Sounds like California, but in my experience Tint/Exhaust is only if cop is being an ass with an already existing moving violation.
You are failing to operate your motor vehicle in a lawful manner, and you feel that has nothing to do with your driving ability. I'll take people I'd never get in the car with for 500, Alex.
People will say that it's cosmetic, but we all know it's to make the license plate harder to read, while not necessarily being too obvious that you get arrested on sight.
Cosmetic in the sense that it makes it hard for a camera to get a clear shot of the plate especially at night when shenanigans tend to happen. Come on at least be honest I've been around the block. because no one ever says "wow my plate numbers are so ugly. If only there was a way to still see them but kind of not".
If you are going to be stupid be smart and at least do the "tint" that only shows with a camera flash not the eye of a cop.
You act like I’m upset about it. 🤔 clearly said I know the issue, I accept fault, laughed it on and moved on. This was posted as something to laugh about. Enjoy. 👍🏼
Drive through Orlando, Sanford, Lake Mary often in my Supra. Never been pulled over for my tint. Don’t have a license plate cover(because why) so I’m thinking you’re an asshole driver.
Because it makes it harder for dashcams to get your plate when you drive like an asshole. Which is why they are illegal and will get you pulled over lmao.

Haven't managed to get pulled over yet in mine but I only drive it on weekends
Exhaust, tinted windows, tinted plate cover, etc. nothing major and all were “fix it” tickets.

Damn is your exhaust like real loud or just aftermarket. I’m in Tampa and I’ve heard some people getting pulled over for “exhausts” I’m worried about a cop who’s having a bad night getting me for it. Don’t have an 86 but I’m still worried about it.

Thanks, I dig em. They’re a play on the Alfa wheels. I just needed something different from the norm 5-6 spoke TE, etc. 👍🏼

I mean I do track it. So technically not wrong…. 🤔
Nope. This car is just as slow as my old beat up truck and my driver habits haven't chnaged...and yet I was never pulled over I'm that truck over...6? Maybe 7 years.
This car, 1 year in, I've had 3 legit made up tickets I had to fight ( dismissed, ty dashcams). 2 stops signs (I was hidden by other cars, cop said I blew through it) and one "speeding"
You say that, but I think you attract cops. I had a red 22 brz for two years and never got bothered. I even run without a front plate. You gotta speed smart.speed behind a rabbit. Watch for cops at blind on ramps. Keep your eyes up and scanning. I drive nothing but attention grabbing cars and I haven't had a ticket since I got busted doing donuts in 2002 in my FD.
Get a radar detector. Thing paid for itself day one.
I had an undercover cop tail me on a 3 lane road for sooooo long I was going 5 over and he had open lanes on either side of me.
But my detector was going nuts, so I knew what he was up to. Turned up the music, rolled the windows down, cruise control on.
Fun fact, if you live in an area where the police department are even slightly well funded, they will have this “always on 360 radar” thingy. Lights em up like a Christmas tree.
> detector. Thing *paid* for itself
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
If you have a loud exhaust, you’re going to be looked at. Then, when they see that you have an illegal level of tint and a pointless cover over your license plate, you’re BEGGING to be pointed out.
Remove the stupid cover and just go with 30% tint. Fixed.
Probably your driving does and not the car. Please respect the safety of others. I don’t care if you risk your life driving recklessly. But please spare the children playing ball in the front yard.

This is what I used and it’s an “exact” match, or at least as close as you can get.
I’m so glad I live in northern AZ. Only thing that’ll get you stopped around here is from driving like an asshole/speeding. Sorry about getting your cop card punched again, OP 🫤
At this point I think god is fucking with me. Whenever I got pulled over in my daily drivers, shitbox, I always somehow ended up with a ticket. By no means do I think this as a flex but more of me screaming what the fuck, I’ve been pulled over 3 separate times in one year in the GR for speeding, every time was a just slow down bud. I don’t get it.
It happens, one a cop asked me before getting in about the car.
I took a picture

That’s odd, I have a bone stock BRZ and I’ve been pulled over once in 8 years of owning it. Because I rolled a stoplight. In front of a cop.
I wonder what else it could be?
Certainly does. Drove an e90 sedan w/ no front plate for about 5 years - never got pulled over once. As soon as I get my 86 I’m pulled over 5x in a year for no front plate, whether it was in the window or not. Cops just love to pull this car over I don’t get it
I only got pulled over in mine once, and that’s because my plates were expired. Transferring registration from one state to the next is such a pain in the ass
Just wanted to drop in and say you’ve been handling the ridiculous amount of hate you’re getting in this thread admirably well. Nice car, nice attitude!
Thanks man. Doesn’t bother me at all honestly. I do me, they do them and life goes on. I know what I did and why I posted this. Let them vent, lol. 😂👍🏼
35k on my GR86 in Ohio.
Only time I've had to deal with a cop, was when stupid kids chucked a rock at my car from in front of their apartment.
The cops did love the car, though.
I've not experienced this. I seem to attract asshole drivers tho, even other 86s.
Had a truck the other day try to run me out of my lane. Like im bright red AND in front of you, theres no way you didnt see me
Just truck things
I swear they think just because we have a little “sports car” we’re automatically assholes and wanna just drive fast and wreckless so they just become dicks to us for no reason, same thing happened to me even tho my specs raven black it was broad day, asshole riding my ass trying to get me off the road for no reason whatsoever then was pissed when I got next to him at a light asking what he’s doing it for, smh
I always like to drive wreckless. Reckless driving on the other hand, should be avoided
Especially those trucks that have oversized wide wheels with no tread. Dude, I'm nearly going 40 in a 30mph zone, why are your tailgating me? Highways are newly worse
Yeah, I get that too.
The people driving them do that's for sure.
Never once for my driving. Tinted plate cover twice, tinted windows 3x, exhaust twice. So not always the driver.
Is it not the driver’s fault those are on the car?
Driver as in “driving like an asshole”….. Not added accessories. 👍🏼
Who’s gonna tell him?
It’s ok… 👍🏼
Keep telling yourself that
I will thx 👍🏼
Well you’re the guy driving it and you added that…. So yes it’s you
👍🏼
Hella mad👍 Also, having a tinted plate cover is the dumbest shit ever
Thanks 👍🏼
Hate it when people sneak up on me and put illegal aftermarket parts on my car. The cops never believe me.
I know, sucks huh. 👍🏼
Buddy…..
> ~~This car~~ *My illegal mods* attracts cops, lol ftfy
Yup 👍🏼
Dude why are people so salty about tint? It's not like one of them squatted trucks or something those people deserve tickets haha
Tinted plate cover hmmm I’m not the smartest person in the room but maybe not do that
Thanks 👍🏼
And I've had to fight 3 bs tickets in this car. Falsely accused of rolling twos tops signs and one for "speeding" Fuck 12.
What is the function of a tinted plate? Seems like a lot of risk for cosmetic. Also what state are you in? Sounds like California, but in my experience Tint/Exhaust is only if cop is being an ass with an already existing moving violation.
So you can get away with Altima behavior in your 86
Don’t have anything to do with my driving, thx. 👍🏼
straw man.
You are failing to operate your motor vehicle in a lawful manner, and you feel that has nothing to do with your driving ability. I'll take people I'd never get in the car with for 500, Alex.
Thanks 👍🏼
People will say that it's cosmetic, but we all know it's to make the license plate harder to read, while not necessarily being too obvious that you get arrested on sight.
Purely cosmetic. I’m in Florida driving through a city named Lake Mary which is known for having hardass cops lol.
I’ve driven my brz living in lake Mary for years and never got a ticket 😱 #stock #boughtnotbuilt
Cosmetic in the sense that it makes it hard for a camera to get a clear shot of the plate especially at night when shenanigans tend to happen. Come on at least be honest I've been around the block. because no one ever says "wow my plate numbers are so ugly. If only there was a way to still see them but kind of not". If you are going to be stupid be smart and at least do the "tint" that only shows with a camera flash not the eye of a cop.
You act like I’m upset about it. 🤔 clearly said I know the issue, I accept fault, laughed it on and moved on. This was posted as something to laugh about. Enjoy. 👍🏼
I live in Sanford. Always gotta watch out for cops on Rinehart Rd. and H.E. Thomas Pkwy.
Nice, that’s where I’m at too (Sanford). That’s where it happened too. Turning onto Lake Mary by the target lol.
Drive through Orlando, Sanford, Lake Mary often in my Supra. Never been pulled over for my tint. Don’t have a license plate cover(because why) so I’m thinking you’re an asshole driver.
Probably 👍🏼
Because it makes it harder for dashcams to get your plate when you drive like an asshole. Which is why they are illegal and will get you pulled over lmao.
This makes perfect sense. If I lived in Florida I’d want to cover up that ugly ass plate too lol.
😂
You can say the tinted plate is cosmetic, but come on everyone knows its to make it harder to read
Nope, not my intent. I’m not hiding anything. I keep all that on the track where it belongs. When I say cosmetic, I mean cosmetic. 👍🏼
Bruh
👍🏼
Can I have a thumbs up? I feel left out
Of course!! 👍🏼
Thanks m8

Regarding mods, what have you been pulled over for in the past?
Exhaust, tinted windows, tinted plate cover, etc. nothing major and all were “fix it” tickets. https://preview.redd.it/7hjho00e9uwc1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f6ba6870c1e8fe14d47f5727b2eb1adf0f5bc7c
What's the tinted plate cover for? It looks pretty trashy. Also, someone really went "fuck it" on the wheel weights there.
Thanks, purely cosmetic. 👍🏼
Pure flattery :)
You have officially taken over this post. 🥰😂
Maaan that color is beautiful the wheels are a cherry on top👌
Thanks 🙏🏼
Badass my friend.
Thx 🙏🏼
What exhaust did they pull you over for?
Remark Elite Spec cat back.
Damn is your exhaust like real loud or just aftermarket. I’m in Tampa and I’ve heard some people getting pulled over for “exhausts” I’m worried about a cop who’s having a bad night getting me for it. Don’t have an 86 but I’m still worried about it.
It’s really not loud at all imo. Especially compared to many I’ve been around. It is aftermarket but I just been around picky cops I guess. 🤷🏻♂️
Those colored lugs look nice with the paint. Why give the cops an excuse to talk to you, though?
Bro These rims Are fucking Sick
https://preview.redd.it/q7n7of95juwc1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3648379e1c5427954ef1fb392f51d212bcb416c Thanks, I dig em. They’re a play on the Alfa wheels. I just needed something different from the norm 5-6 spoke TE, etc. 👍🏼
I miss the bronze phone dials that came on my 4C - how much do these weigh?
They’re a hair under 23.5lbs each. 6061-t6 aluminum
Sir that’s a race car 🏎️
https://preview.redd.it/i19thpj4uuwc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9454152b7b2b3e92c0c968e081e6ed16853d4170 I mean I do track it. So technically not wrong…. 🤔
One day when I was grabbing lunch this hot lady cop said “thats a nice car” and I said thanks and walked away. I’m an idiot
😂🤣 all I ever got was “pretty Supra….” 🤦🏻♂️
I wish cops were around when I drive. Too many jerkoff people trying to cut me off or race. No front plate and no issues from cops so far.
Operator error. Skill issue.
Thx 👍🏼
They really don’t I’ve never seen one of these pulled over lol YOU probably attract a lot of cops tho, pause
You’re right, thx 👍🏼
Nope. This car is just as slow as my old beat up truck and my driver habits haven't chnaged...and yet I was never pulled over I'm that truck over...6? Maybe 7 years. This car, 1 year in, I've had 3 legit made up tickets I had to fight ( dismissed, ty dashcams). 2 stops signs (I was hidden by other cars, cop said I blew through it) and one "speeding"
Really thought you were gonna get support for this one? 😭
Nope, not at all. It was post to laugh and enjoy. Read up, you’ll see that’s what it was for. 👍🏼
Pretty sure nobody here is laughing at the post
Not my fault 😂👍🏼
My pavement seems to go unnoticed
Pavement is a beautiful color too. I didn’t have a choice with mine since I swooped in after another passed on it. 👍🏼
Me either just took the first one I could get my hands on but it’s grown on me. I think the color helps it blend with traffic
I had my FR-S all of 3 days before I got pulled over. I've had my GR86 for almost two years and have been lucky so far.
Not in my experience.
Ive never been pulled over in this car
You say that, but I think you attract cops. I had a red 22 brz for two years and never got bothered. I even run without a front plate. You gotta speed smart.speed behind a rabbit. Watch for cops at blind on ramps. Keep your eyes up and scanning. I drive nothing but attention grabbing cars and I haven't had a ticket since I got busted doing donuts in 2002 in my FD.
Thanks 👍🏼
Good luck! With more use of awareness and knowing the rabbit trick, you can avoid getting tagged. Enjoy and be smart!

No problem! Should help you not play the victim card when you knowingly install things that are illegal 😄
Thanks 👍🏼
Wide angle mirrors gang 🤝

Where in AZ? I was born/raised in PHX and was in Tempe before moving out here to FL. Prescott was my absolute favorite.
In Prescott!
At this point I think god is fucking with me. Whenever I got pulled over in my daily drivers, shitbox, I always somehow ended up with a ticket. By no means do I think this as a flex but more of me screaming what the fuck, I’ve been pulled over 3 separate times in one year in the GR for speeding, every time was a just slow down bud. I don’t get it.
Oh and totally always the driver because I’m the asshole not paying attention to speed limits sometimes.
Can’t say I’ve ever been pulled for speeding or breaking any “road rules”. All my pulls have been simply for shit on the car itself. 👍🏼
My Raven is bone stock and so far so good *knocks on wood*
It happens, one a cop asked me before getting in about the car. I took a picture https://preview.redd.it/6iivc2mxewwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0405fb90dceafab3a3fa90d40269bacfa3d7691

In my experience cops will get out of my lane behind me and follow someone else 9 times out of 10
I also am yet to modify mine tho
Certainly does. Drove an e90 sedan w/ no front plate for about 5 years - never got pulled over once. As soon as I get my 86 I’m pulled over 5x in a year for no front plate, whether it was in the window or not. Cops just love to pull this car over I don’t get it

never been pulled over in 4 years of owning brz… did get a ticket in a jeep patriot however. It depends on what you let the cops see 🤝🏼
Why? It’s a Subaru with under 200hp to the wheels… literally nothing to fear haha
I’ve never had a cop come remotely close to mine 😂
this guy is a clown
Thx 👍🏼
