While I see your point, there also isn't much of one in having a spec class if you can replace parts with whatever you find out there or can fab up. Weight savings could become a significant advantage in this class if you can just stick whatever you want on there. Either it's a spec class, or it isn't.

Since most everyone will be on race bodywork anyway, it's probably not as big of a deal there. Seats can be recovered. Parts are all over eBay for these things. It's doable.
