The problem with this process is everyone involved has their own interpretation of what the rules are, and some individuals seem to live to exploit whatever little power they've been handed. Ours was registered as a 2020 SPCNS with no mention whatsoever about meeting 2020 standards. The smog year is determined at the final in-person BAR appt., at which time they typically give you the option of engine year or replica year. None of this, however, makes any difference to the person who's decided they'd like to make your life as miserable as possible. You're only real hope is to get this into somebody else's hands, and hope their idea of how this works lines up closer to the actual stated policies.
We took on the SB100 process simply because we wanted to 'do the right thing'. If I could do it over, I never would have done it. I hope others find all this info on this site before they make the mistake of trying to get into the SB100 program. It's a complete joke from start to finish, something that started as a means to help this community, but has been turned into a weapon to prevent us from registering our cars at all.
Be especially nice to everyone you talk to and try to get your paperwork into somebody else's hands than whoever is currently handling it.
