Exclamation CA emission - need help from CALI 8 owners

Can someone post a pic of the sticker under the hood that is good for all 50 states? I am freaking out that the calis may not allow my new 8 into the because it has less than 7500 miles (considered new - duh) and is not 50 state certified. I want to compare mine with one that was bought in CA.

Thanks - I'll sleep better tonight if I can see a CA compliant sticker.

The sticker they look for is under your hood (it's angled down behind the latch). You have to stick your head under it a bit. Just chill out. If worse comes to worse, take it to NV or AZ, sell it and buy one in CA. Alabama has absolutely zero emissions laws. I imported mine with no problem, as I said before.

I tried to take a photo of the sticker I have but it's too dark / my camera phone sucks.

All due respect robertdot the difference is that mine had under 7500 miles on it.

Zoom 49 I have an 04, but I am pretty paranoid about this. If you could post a pic of your sticker that would really help.
