heres my experience with PA inspection. one time with a previous car, i had a CAI in it. they passed me as a favor but they said next time they wont pass me with a CAI in the car. i've also had to change the bulbs and reflectors with previous cars from clear back to orange everytime i take it for inspection. the one time with my G35 i forgot, and the dealer charged me for new orange bulbs or they couldnt pass me. with my G, it was easy to change the reflectors....they just popped in and out. with the 335, its doesnt seem as easy. so i was just wondering what you guys did. if people do change them out once a year for inspection.
If the dealer gives me a hard time about my painted reflectors for PA inspection i'm just going to duct tape the OEM ones over the painted ones and see what they say about that lol

I don't anticipate any problems with the reflectors - bulbs, however, I can understand. The PA vehicle code is very specific about the colors of front/rear bulbs.
