Trunk kits are specifically NOT legal in Stock. See the rule
book. Nor are dealer-installed accessories or options, unless
installed response to a "factory service directive" a la the
recently-bemoaned Audi TT recall stuff.

Sure looks legal to me. Since ST isn't a national class (not yet,
anyway), I wouldn't necessarily hang my hat on the legality of
fooling with camshaft timing via ECU mods, however.
