Swapping the facia itself would be an "update/backdate" issue and legal
for SP (or not... since Saturns are STILL not specifically listed in
CSP, nothing is on the "same line"). I don't remember if brake ducting
is legal or not.

Are you kidding? Most people couldn't tell you the difference between
and SC2 and an SL1. You are 100% correct there, unless they have
studied Saturn lineage, they wouldn't know the difference. (Honda guys
are just as bad... still don't know how someone can tell exactly what
year a Honda is at a glance. But Saturns are easy... 2-tone paint with
geartooth wheels is a 92-93, solid color with original teardrops is a
94, fog lights started in 95...)
