just to clarify, if it's modified...but still falls within OEM spec...it still qualifies, right? (i.e. base converted to OEM vr4 spec)

Again, like with the first gen - second gen issue, what the VIN says should be the deciding factor. An SL that has been converted to AWD/Twin Turbo is an AWD/TT SL, not a VR4. It is LIKE a VR4, but it is NOT a VR4. Sorry no mater what the platform, I'm a purist and a clone is a clone, never the real deal. Stock is stock, changed is not.

Sorry for the delay, I wanted to consult before replying.

Stock would mean all model/year appropriate body panels. So even though your car would be stock if it were sold as a VR4, it did not come off the production line as a VR4.

I'll have to enter.

All I have is wheels, rotors, BOV, short throw shifter and flash tune.

Car is still in 4X4 mode. haha
