Question Proud new owner with a couple questions

Hey everyone, this is my first post, I'm Brian from socal....I am the proud new owner of this:




I can not wait to get this car...I'm coming off a 2000 VW Jetta lease, and couldn't be happier! My question to you guys is...will this car pass the California smog? It is coming from Florida. Are all the TL's designed with California in mind or are some of our cars 49 state while some are 50 state? This has been driving me crazy, so any help would be appreciated! Especially if you have brought in a car from out of state!! Thanks a lot!

Welcome and congrats on your new purchase!

TL's have a lot more room than the VW's, eh?

ya youll deff be fine w/ the DMV hear in cali. and plus almost all cars have a bit less power when they are tuned for cali sale. so you actually should have a bit more pwr then the same car tuned for cali sale.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome guys! This is the stuff that I wanted to hear, it has put my mind at ease about the smog test here in CA.

Yes it is indeed the Laguna Green Metallic, I just call it Gray, I just don't see a hint of green in the thing...here is the only place I could find a color guide for 99'

And the pictures are all from Florida, so no, it's not where I live, it does look awesome though! Thanks again guys.
