To check for illegal mods please see if the "mod" has a sticker on it that says

"this mod is illegal"

should be pretty straight forward i'd think, just look for a sticker

if you dont' want to get pulled over and get a canary
1. dont put yourself in a position to attract attention
so, no loud exhaust, no bov, no fast and furious stickers, no stupid low ride, no bright green paintwork, no carbon fibre bonnet
2. don't drive your wrx to a cruise that is notorious of getting dickheads that will bring attention to everyone else

all mods you do to your car, is illegal, since its outside of the factory spec.
the key is to try and do the mods to as close to OEM as possible, e.g. factory 4 pot brakes (or brembos), Sti rims, sti suspension, etc. At least its easier to explain that this is a subary factory part

WHS^^^^

I also find the statement "it's a company car officer" works wonders.

Have tried, did work. Comes down to who you get pulling you over and how you respond to them. I'm hardly suggesting it works all the time however.
