Another one of my favorites ....

8.9.11 Any unused under-hood brackets and plastic components that can be unbolted (not cut) may be removed.

I wonder how many spot welded brackets have been removed from under the hoods of these CMC cars?

I know I was just about to lose the fuse panel bracket till I read that.

[jeffburch]

If the tab/bracket was inside the car, removal is ok.
They are cosistant aren't they?
Geez.

This one was a compromise. We wanted you to be able to get rid of stuff you dont need (like the giant headlight assembly support on 4th gen camaros for example) but didnt want people to start cutting out the underside of the hood (been there recently, remember?) and doing other crazy things. Basically the rules sort of left a lot under the hood out of the "interior" definition of what can be removed (or cut off Mitch)...so this was added. Sorry if its less than ideal, but technically, according to the 06 rules, if someone had cut off something that wasnt specifically stated as being allowed to be cut off under the hood...you know where this is going.
