Hi Tom, thanks for posting ! If you don't mind me asking, what made you decide to do the sb100 after the DMV said don't worry about it? I ask because that's prettymuch the same position as me.

Because the DMV doesn't know what its talking about. There was someone here that the DMV said he had an SB-100 (his car sticker did not say SB-100 on it). But then he got a smog inspection notice in the mail. That simply isn't possible. So he went and got an SB-100 and he now has no issues.

It clear from some past threads that the DMV has people comb through registrations looking for problems. The best guarantee that the DMV won't suddenly find an issue with your registration is to get an SB-100. It's easy to do, it costs nothing and it can save you a lot of trouble down the road. So if you have an out of state car, it is prudent to get the SB-100.

That was me. Mine was not registered as a 66 or what-ever though. It was legal through the DMV as a 0000SPCN but they never sent in a smog notice.

I sent a PM to the OP and left him my number but he did not call. Was the long weekend and all though.
