Well, I didn't exactly get a direct answer on the topic, but it's an answer (via the Clonetroopers.net board)...

"Every costume registered with the 501st and on the website must be a LFL creation. NO fan customs are allowed. The old rumor that "once you have an official costume you can have anything else you want" is only a rumor.

If you have legitimate proof that your creation exists in the SW universe it must be provided at the time you present your costume. The costume must be as accurate as possible to the documentation you provide."

Hence, the 501st Legion does NOT recognize custom fan-created costumes. This doesn't mean you'll get kicked out of the Det (that will never happen - once a member, always a member). It just means you can't register that custom costume in the Legion (according to the current rules). It is considered an unofficial costume by the 501st, but is welcome at non-Canon events (but you can't claim it's a 501st costume).

When in doubt, please refer to your local GML and be prepared to show proof that your costume isn't a custom.
