that would just set the engine bay off perfectly
I am acyually thinking of picking up the titanium intake elbow Tommy is offering, and mating it with a carbon fiber Mugen snorkel. J's is my secong choice. I'm just not sure if I can justify the price of the setup right now, since it probably won't add any more power then my V2 does.

Nope, no trouble at all, didn't even have to pay duty. I had to make sure the papers for the car were at the border 72 hours in advance to the car crossing, and when I brought it across I had topay 7% GST, $100 RIV Tax, and $209 A/C Tax. They give you two forms, and they stamp one. You then have 60 days (I think) to make it meet the requirements to be road legal in Canada, which in the case of the S, only meant installing daytime running lights. Once that was done, take it to Canadian Tire for the RIV inspection, MVI, and they will stamp form 2. Now you can go register it at your local DMV. At registration you pay whatever your PST may be, in my case it was 8%. All prices are based on the amount you paid for the car, not the blue book value. In total by going to the US, I estimate I saved around 7-10k. Definately worth the trouble.

Thanks to everyone else as well. The compliments are very apreciated, especially from those of you have inspired my car.

Thanks bro, I'm glad I did too, it was a great platform to add to. She's almost done though. Just have to add the hardtop! Glad I have your approval for the work I have done!
