First off, "Trunk kits" are not legal in Solo2 stock category
competition.
Second, unless they are -factory- items that could order from ANY
dealer and have the car delivered from the -factory- in that
configuration, then they aren't legal. Dealer options are not legal as
they vary from dealer to dealer and were not part of the factory invoice.

Good question, I don't know. But I would assume yes they are legal.
