Oh yea, the rules...No, it is legal, or should be under section 2 below as it is explicitly allowed. I checked rules before buying it of course, and I have seen multiple BRZ's at Nats the past 2 years with them, some cars with the entire STi lip/sideskirt kit.
It comes from the Subaru Accessory catalog, not a performance catalog, and it is installed as directed by the manufacturer.

Worst case is I would just pull it off before Nats, takes 10 minutes, but I think it will be fine.
From the Street Touring section of the rule book:
Quote:
F. Addition of spoilers, splitters, rear wings, bumper covers, valances, side skirts, and non-functional scoops/vents is allowed provided that either:
1. It is a production part which is standard or optional equipment of a US model of the vehicle. (“Model” is defined in Section 12.)
2. It is listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog for that vehicle for normal highway use. This does not allow for parts sold through a manufacturer’s performance catalog (e.g., Ford Racing, HPD, Mazdaspeed, Mopar Performance, Mugen, NISMO, SPT, TRD, etc). Parts must be installed as directed by the manufacturer. Exact replicas,including weight, from alternate sources are also permitted.
