My friend did , he had a hard time because the out-of-state car had no catalytic converters which was ok on that state , but not on CA. He had to spend $200 to get cats installed + registration.

from my understanding if we ship a car from hawaii to CA we are allowed a 1 year smog exemption?!?! not 100% sure but im sure its like that or similar. plus all you really have to do is find a stock honda accord here get that smoged and show that paper when u register your car.Comment

It's not a big deal, needs to be smogable in Cali. I bought a Camry at auction with Texas plates. I think it was a lien sale, although I can't remember if that was the correct status or term. But the only thing different that I had to do was to take it to a CHP office for an inspection. It passed, so all I had to do was pay for registration and get it smogged.Comment

CHP inspection, is that for brake lamps and what not?
The cat maybe the ther thing i need to get this thing CA legal then? No smog pump?Comment

I remember it being more thorough than that. I'm pretty sure he put it on a lift and the guy was checking out everything. That was a long time ago so my memory is fading. He also asked me if I noticed anything wrong with the car.Originally posted by laloquera View PostComment

Im thinking of taking my car for inspection to a local DMV.Comment

No problem at DMV, its more about da money if anything. Im still working on the smog issue.Comment

My wagon is from out of state. I got a smog check and went through a brief inspection at the dmv. They made sure the vins matched and made sure the airbags were intact and that was about it.FA1

It passed, blew an 7 on the NOX. Got a universal cat for abou $150. Fucken paid overall $300.00. California emissions sucks ass! Some one should do a write on DIY smog emissions.Comment

You just gotta know people who can pass a "hot smog" for you.... It will end up costing you a little less like $150-$200 and you dont gotta go around buy and installing all oem parts back on your car.... Im gonna have to face this problem soon since I need to register my Arizona CB here in Cali.... How much did you pay to change it over to Cali?
