depends how strict they are, i dunno who does the tech, but i dont think having your rad supported by zip ties is legal, they just arnt strong enough, they break easily. but i dunno, you might be able to get around it if they dont notice it.

if they pop your hood and they see it, most likely they won't let you run. In Sac, most of the time they don't even pop your hood.

put some duct tape over them to hide it... say its for better air flow to the radiator. hehe.
