Pursuring this theoretical, "If angels were to dance on the heads of pins,"
discussion, if you could prove via a copy of the original dealer bill of sale
that the car was originally bought with the undercoating, you would probably
be
given an exemption for a dealer accessory, as is the standard policy
regarding unusual dealer-installed accessories. But since you don't have such
a car,
and we've never had this question arise regarding any specific car to be
inspected in Concours, the issue remains theoretical.
