Does not appear anyone else brought this up, but the brake ducts may be an issue too. They allow brake ducts, but not body modification to accommodate them. Usually they would let you tape over them though. Otherwise test pipe for sure needs to be changed. Plastics would probably be dependent on area. I took out my AC in my area and they offered to still put me in STR.

AutoX is kind of secondary.

if you get alignment and ride height right, those +45 offsets are likely going to get in the way. Something with +60 is what you really want. You can roll fenders but not pull them in ST

For local events a lot may get by. But keep in mind, if you do well, it is up to your competitors if they protest. If they do, it goes by the rulebook and you get disqualified. Most autocrossers stay away from weenie protests, but some will protest if one peice of trim is missing if you win a trophy

Would be the weeniest protest ever...
Plus, I'd say there's a reasonable argument for it under section 13.1 of the street rules:
"All repairs must comply with factory-authorized methods and procedures, or industry standard methods, as follows: If the OEM does not provide an appropriate method of repair, industry standard methods and procedures may be used. Such repairs may not result in a part or combination of parts that provides a competitive advantage (e.g., significant change to weight, suspension control, power, etc.) as compared to the standard part(s). Competitors are strongly cautioned to use this allowance to make common-sense repairs only."
