Emissions in Maryland

[DavidW]

Who has gone through the Emission testing in Maryland lately?

I went to the emissions station the other day and they didn't have any idea what to do so they gave me an extension until December. When I got the VIN plate attached by the Maryland State Police they told me kit cars would be exempt but I didn't do any research or confirmation. I just looked it up online and found this info and it doesn't say anything about kit cars.
