In most cases, customizing your vehicle will not affect the SMOG or State Inspection. Wheels, tires, suspension upgrades, brake upgrades, transmission upgrades, and styling can all be done without impacting your chances of passing SMOG or State Inspection. Normally, there is a "visual" inspection in addition to the actual tests run on the vehicle - here you may need to reinstall your factory airbox (when applicable) to pass the visual inspection.
