Nice wheels but those eyelids are very much illegal. Hope you don't use your car at night. They cover half the lights beam.

Nope, we have smog every other year after your car is 5 years old. Strictly speaking, no modifications to intake and exhaust are allowed. Unless those modifications are certified by CARB (they get an EO [Executive Order] - a sticker which makes them legal). But there are no other technical inspections.

If you mod your car badly and you want to make it street legal, you could go to a smog ref and they would do a full inspection and decide. I was thinking about looking into it, but gave up on the idea. I'm thinking about getting a different car instead of dealing with the hassle (nice excuse, huh?)
