ANY HELP AT ALL IS APRECIATED!

i put up some pics of me and my buddies cruising in our tuners if ya want to check 'em out
Thank you for posting the picture!

Unfortunately I have no experience in this specific area. However, I'd recommend that you get in touch with companies that import cars into the US.

Also be sure to review:

http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/import/
https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/det...3D%3D/search/1

To me, if it's going to be a show car, that should have nothing to do with the DOT...which in my admittedly-unqualified opinion, should make it easier to import.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
