For those people who say that police resources should be spent elsewhere, There are dedicated people doing specialized things within VPD. Within traffic enforcement, there are different mandates within each team and different projects that occur.
Smaller municipalities may not have enough resources to focus on MVAR infractions or give two 2 cents about it. Simply patrol units will care LESS about your normal MVAR infractions, infact they would probably radio a traffic unit to clarify a MVAR infraction / citation before giving one.
As for questions regarding Modified insurance within BC, the modified parts must be FACTORY MODIFIED by the ORIGINAL manufacturer.

Says nothing about parts having to be from "original manufacturer", however it does state that the shell must be OEM. For those that are sporting an aftermarket exhaust and such (within spec), this should be an easy pass according to our current cases with people obviously passing inspection with their VI'd exhaust still attached. (Sorry, no aftermarket widebodies)
My educated guess would lead me to think that this is aimed towards extended limousines and special project cars... However and fortunately, reading into all of it's contexts... It doesn't mean our cars cannot be passed as a modified vehicle. If VPD pulls us over, we show them the passed pre-inspection and we're good. Legally we've already done our due diligence and it's already been registered through ICBC. Saves you any further potential VI and it's fees.
