Do a search on the Forum there are many threads that tell you exactly what you have to do and what to expect from DMV. And how to register using SB100.

Use SB100
1. Take invoice amd certificate of origin to DMV
pay tax on kit and registration fee ($1400 in my case) You will leave the DMV with some papers nad red sticker for your window. You can now drive on the street.
2. You'll receive a Special construction number in the mail (mine took 3 days) and you can then call the CHP for a VIN number assignment.(mine was 4 days after I received the SPCN # in the mail). Takes about 1/2 hour. They'll put some numbers on it. You can then call BAR for smog excemption (2 days in my case). They fill out a form and give it another sticker. I drove straight to the DMV and got my plates. NO headlamp/brake inspection. No safety check or wipers or backup lamp required. Hope this helps.

183 Still available. Too cool, and I was worried about putting Cats on mine (when i finally order it that is) plus you can gut all the smog equipment too.

I keep hearing conflicting stories on brake/light inspections, seems like it's a little hit-and-miss depending on the DMV office's familiarity with specialty car registration. If anyone has documentation from the CA DMV that specified that a brake/light inspection is not required, it would be very helpful.
