Since the passage of SB100 in 2001 hundreds of cars have been registered in California under the SPCNS requirements enforced by the DMV, BAR, CHP and brake & light inspectors. You should have nothing to do with CARB. They are extremely diligent in their pursuit of ever cleaner air and represent a threat to continued registration of cars like BDRs.
Here in lies the problem - CARB HAS gotten involved by questioning how BDR and SPF builds qualify for SB100. As I said and based on information from an attorney that deals with SPCNS applications, everything is currently up in the air. Apparently, per the attorney, the arguments presented by the CARB folks don't hold water so now its just a waiting game. I will tell others what the attorney told me, a current BDR owner who is also trying to get a Cobra certified under SB100 - be patient and keep the faith. The arguments presented by the CARB officials are weak. But we shall see how this all plays out.
