This is from Tiico's web page:

"At the moment, we can only sell for "off road use only" in California. We
are making progress towards California approval and will update this page
accordingly."

So its laise faire.

And by the way it looks like they're going to be offering some of the things
other list vendors offer: like 15 inch wheels, bigger brakes, ect.. and
those round head light grills

Heres some nitpicking as an aside:
--- but you know, I really don't care for those round head light grills - I
mean if you've got a square headlight grill, I think its better - I can only
see the round head lights as being an improvement for the the vanagons that
didn't have two pairs of headlights (four alltogether) but just two
total.... The round head lights in SA are offered for their lowest model
vanagon (the one with the smaller engine) and the square are in their more
expensive model vanagons..
