Not if the car is registered at a legitimate address in the other state. I've been in Michigan for 3 years on NC plates because I still own and rent out my place back in NC. My step brother is doing the same thing on NC plates in San Diego right now, hes been there for 5 years. Hes been pulled over numerous times and the cops always give him a hard time about it, but he legally owns property back in NC and has that as his primary residence even though its only an empty lot.

I'm talking about California laws where it is illegal and the police do enforce the laws.

[holemilk00]

Oh my bad I thought San Diego was in California.

[Z_Spool]

yeah, having out of state plates is legal as long as ou can prove you have dual residency in that state. (live there at least half of the year) 'Proof' can be utilities in your name or a deed to a house, etc. Even in CA... Yay loopholes.

Then you should know the laws. Because if someone is pulled over and provides a California drivers licence, and insurance from ???? in a car registered from out of state, an officer might let you go once. But best believe if you are caught again, trouble will be had.

Especially if you are trying to drive a car that is clearly violating road laws.

Intend to live or be located here on a permanent basis (for example, acquire a California driver license, acquire other licenses not ordinarily extended to a nonresident, registered to vote).
Enroll in an institution of higher learning as a California resident or enroll their dependents in school (K-12).
NOTE: Nonresident military personnel stationed in California or their spouses may operate their vehicles with valid out-of-state license plates from their home state or the state where the military person was last stationed.

Contact The CHP

All these loopholes people try to make because they can't afford a DD or what?

Yes, this law does not apply to military.

Running around with out of state registration is like running around with a modified car, sure some might get lucky, but it is essentially playing with fire.

I <3 Cali lol

I pointed out the key word in what you posted. If you aren't changing your residency then everything you posted does not apply.


Actually read into it more, there are acceptions for students as well as those that are still residence of another state, this would mean your license, registration, and insurance would all be from the state of your primary residence. State law NEVER trumps federal law, and fed law states your primary state of residence is where you must have your vehicle registered and your license must be issued from the same. My previous employer had several of us on projects all over the country for much longer than 3 weeks, and several of us were in different areas of California, and NONE of us had to change anything. You guys are all pointing out laws that apply to people that move to California and become residence, I'm talking about people that leave homes and families behind in other states and go to California for work, school, or because of military orders.

I'm from Maryland, have an md drivers license, and am stationed in San Francisco. I am doing nothing illegal in any sense of the word. Therefore this argument is irrelevant to this thread.

So, please continue posting pics of two tones and save the arguments for your legal classes.

Awesome, we have talked about this virgin car of yours.

[Kanseidrift23]

[tr4c3]

To my knowledge that is not an OEM two-tone.

[soreballz]

^Yes it is, but it's OEM for the Silvias, not for 240s.

[Wake]

Its actually the off white and champagne, thats all.
White = KG5
Champagne = EM1

Just realized thats a repaint with super white (326)

heres some other JDM 2tones


and in person.

Top row is (L to R) off white/champagne, Super white/silver, and Silver/Dark gray.

Only ones i cant find the codes for is the JDM almighty 2tone that looks like this
