What kind of car is it, and what mods are done to it? The dealer can lose their license for selling cars like that, and the smog shop they take their cars to will DEFINITELY lose certification. Probably have to shut down as well.

Good choice in a commuter car! They are a riot to hammer on!

I'd take the smog shop and the dealer down. They both screwed you by passing it and selling it. Good luck.

I suggest you do a little research on some of the parts that are on the car now. Some of them can be legal, while others may not be. Not all officers keep up on what parts have CARB E.O. numbers. And often times the guys that put the parts on the car don't keep the stickers that come with those parts on the car/in the car. Not all the parts have the E.O. number on the part. I've had a officer try and tell me a part was not legal on my car till I showed him the sticker proving it was. He didn't give me a ticket, but told me he could have since I had modified a stock part. So much for legal headers, huh?

Thumbs up

Just make sure you save all reciepts/emails for proof for when you do go to court. That could help you out a lot.
GOOD LUCK!!
