Starting January 1, 2005, owners of vehicles six or less model years old will pay an annual smog abatement fee for the first six registration years instead of being required to provide a biennial smog certification. The registration renewal notice mailed to you by the department will indicate if a smog certification is required. If a smog certification is required and you have not had a smog inspection, you may still pay your registration fees to avoid any late fees. However, you will not receive your new registration or year sticker until the smog information has been received by DMV.

 

have you recived your registration renewal form yet?

 

not for this year but i would have thought that it should have been smogged starting in 07

 

I just got mine a week ago, hopefully it will pass the visual.......I have dc headers, but no exempt order#. I'll find out tomorrow.

 

what year is your cl?

 

The next time your registration BILL comes in the mail you'll probably see something that says that your car must pass smog in order for you to renew your registration.

 

try calling DC and asking if they have carb exempt the headers?

 

oh well as long as they don't ask for your car to be smoged then i wouldn't worry about it... You'll probably see it in this years registration forms

 

I had to smog mine in Mar '07. I bought it used and the production date is Mar/00 so I guess it was first purchased shortly after that.

 

Got my registration this week. I do not have to get it smogged!! don't know what's up w/that but what the heck...

 

i just did the smog inspection on my 01clp. i passed it easily and the inspection scores were way below average (good thing).

 

Most semi modern well maintained vehicles pass with room to spare. My 94 Landcruiser just did.

 

My 1986 300zx with 228K original miles passed with flying colors and quite a bit of room to spare.
