Re: Texas Modification Laws
I can't tell you pacifically about Texas as I only know most of the laws in Florida for my particular county. Their are federal laws and state laws and it goes right down to county laws. Each have their own.
My particular county in Florida doesn't allow ANY cover on the license plate, even a clear cover, nothing at all. Sounds silly but it's on the books.
Then again, there's certain things that your insurance company doesn't allow you do to either.
As far as your Chrysler warranty, whatever you do to your PT is covered by the Magnuson-Moss warranty Act"
Under the Magnusson-Moss Act, a dealership or manufacturer cannot deny warranty coverage solely because the consumer has installed aftermarket parts. This does not give tuners an excuse though, to throw anything they want on the car. If the manufacturer or dealership determines the mechanical problem is fully or even partially due to an aftermarket part, they have the legal right to deny coverage or repair under the warranty. The purpose of the act, in regards to automobiles, is so manufacturers cannot require consumers to purchase the OEM parts. If you decide to use a Fram or Mobil 1 oil filter as opposed to the factory oil filter, this is where the act will protect you by not voiding your warranty. What this all means is that, although you can modify your vehicle with aftermarket parts, you should make sure you being smart about your modifications. No need to waste a good warranty while it?s there.
