I passed smog test readings but didn't pass the visual with the BW exposed. I wonder if I'd had the lid on it if I would have passed.

Default Just passed at South Cal Smog

Recently passed smog with Blackwing installed at South Cal Smog, 4645 Ruffner St. They are a couple doors down from the Corvette Shop (excellent shop).

I know exactly where that is. Been there with my other cars. I should have gone there but didn't because its about 6 miles away whereas the one I went to is one mile away. Next time!!!!
