***I fixed the damage to my liking and have no intention of fixing it further.***

Jared, if we use this ^ as a base line for repairing cars I can only imagine what a race group of cars will look like.

***I believe that I maintain a stock looking body line (to be legal per body repair rules) while presenting a car suitable for competition (it ain't perfect, but it hit a wall).***

Rule 9.1.3.D.8.h. Body repair workshall be preformed using every reasonable effort to maintain stock body contours, lips, ect.

Reading between the lines I understand where the tech inspector is coming from.

If I am not mistaken one of your coharts from Council who races a Spec Miata has been given the same notation with reference to his body work.

From my observations of you on track, you get-er done. It would be a shame if you decide to not fix your body work because that might leave you out of racing SCCA where there is some competition for you.
