One other thing about California relitive to this post about "tuning".  AIUI
(As I understand it) once you've gotten your van certified as a "2005 Ford
Focus" or whatever...  you ARE that vehicle in the eyes of CARB/BAR and
hence any aftermaket parts with CARB approval for a "2005 Ford Focus" can
now be applied to your "2005 Ford Focus Vanagon".
