They have started a program that gives the middle finger to the Calif smog nazies.

That is AWESOME. What a great move on their part. Where ya at, Honda? Similar population who does modding...seems a great opportunity.

The big problem I can see is when you go for insurance, unless all the hp mods don't show up anywhere so that the insurance company can't ding you.

GM is offering this: https://autos.yahoo.com/official-cadillac-parts-selling-blackwing-173300093.html

However good luck getting the car to pass smog inspection in Calif.

Honda tried this with the Sports Modulo program in Japan. Factory-backed performance parts with warranty. It seems it couldn't compete with the aftermarket, as the costs were higher for the Modulo parts versus established aftermarket like HKS, Greddy, etc. To me, the answer may be to integrate those large aftermarket makers into part subcontractors for Honda. So, you're getting a HKS turbo system that has been developed by HKS and then tested and certified by Honda and sold as a Honda Modulo part.

This is very attractive for the HC faithful....its what really floated comptech's boat back in the day...of course with the impending demise of the ice it is also a bonus door prize for those dealers that qualify..ie power brokers....keep those techs teching....
