Question by EngineerNixus: Custom/After-market car parts and their regulations?
I am currently an engineer that is thinking of designing and producing after-market or custom car accessories (mainly body-work and lighting), and was wondering; Who do I need to contact in order to determine if the pieces that I may create are legal or not. Also, what are the regulations and laws associated with creating custom car parts.

If anyone knows anything related to this topic, could you please give me as much data as possible (i,e, links, contacts, etc.) The more information that I have, the better.

Answer by Sean
Body work there really is no guidelines, as long as the OEM structure (the physical bumpers, etc.) remain in place. Lighting, however, is a different story. In order to be road legal, you would need to have them approved by the DOT (Dept. of Transportation), which is an expensive and long process. Performance parts must meet federal emissions standards and usually must pass the California Air Research Board approval, and be issued an Executive Order number to be sold as street legal in CA and other states that use CA emissions regulations.

Question by Melanie H: Best auto glass replacement shop in Tucson?
I’m looking for an auto glass replacement shop in Tucson and would love to talk to someone about their experiences with auto glass shops in Tucson or at least a good referral to call.

I have a huge crack in my windshield and need it to be replaced as quick as possible because I was pulled over for it and now I have to go to court. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Mike
Hi Melanie,

There are several auto glass replacement shops to choose from in Tucson. Just do a search in Google for “Tucson auto glass” or “Tucson auto glass replacement”.

I used http://autoglassreplacementtucson.com the last time I replaced my windshield and a gentleman by the name of Daniel installed it for me. I would definitely call them again because he went way and beyond what was expected.

He can also repair chips and cracks in your windshield as well. I’m not sure how bad yours is but just give him a call and he’ll let you know if it’s salvageable or not. Their number is 520-869-8624.

If you get it repaired before you go to court they should dismiss the ticket. I hope this has help you.

Mike R.

Thank You

Answer by ♥Constance♥
Quite a bit, some paints have different ratios but most paints thin at least 1:1 thats a half gallon of paint dude, if you use a gravity feed hvlp paint gun your paint will go farther because there is less overspray, It also depends on if the original color is the same as the paint your buying, some colors are harder to cover. Unless something drastic happens you should have plenty. Don’t forget reducer/thinner dude.

Modern day manufacturers have a significant number of types of such booths. The reason for this is to cover the entire spectrum of customer requirements. You could want a booth to paint an automobile or an aircraft or a very tiny intricate part in large numbers. All of these different samples would need different types of booths. Because of this reason the various types of paint booths are:

Truck spray booth and

Industrial spray booths

Truck and Industrial Spray Booths

The truck spray booths are further categorized into the full; side and the semi-down draft varieties besides the reverse and front flow types. Similarly the industrial spray booths are sub-divided into the airplane booths and the production tunnels.

The could be sub-divided into the premier variant, the insulated variant and the full, semi and side down draft variants besides the reverse and front flow types.

The Premier Spray Booth

This spray booth has white powder coated panels that are double walled and fully insulated. This results in considerable saving in energy, ease of maintenance and increased durability. The panels are punched with precision and made of heavy gauge galvanized steel for protection against corrosion and long life.

The has uniform airflow due to the full ceiling air intake filters. The surplus spray is forced out of the vehicle by the central flow exhaust system.

The direct-fired heat system scores by 20% in efficiency terms over the indirect fired heating system. Recirculation of preheated air from the baking cycle effects greater energy savings.

Electronic monitoring of filters, energy saving motor drives and an auto shut down system all help in the further saving in running costs.

The lights are strategically located and have access from the inside. This means that the exterior is flush and clean. The lighting is well focused in order to eliminate shadows. The lights have also been selected with the saving of energy costs in mind.

The provision of tri-fold doors and a 2-meter pit under the central exhaust system further enhance the utilization of the .
