Changes the definition of custom vehicle from twenty-five years old to thirty. Removes language which exempted equipment on street rods and custom vehicles. Adds "custom vehicles" to those exempt from certain equipment requirements identified in RCW 46.37.518. Provides that registration of a street rod or custom vehicle does not have to be the initial registration.
