Honestly if have to ask my freight forward company what they think an item of this size would be - where should I ask a price to deliver to? What country and state?

They are getting rare.. Yahoo Japan was full of these "trinkets" 3-4 years ago, not so much now.

Plus a bunch of custom one off pieces I've either made myself or have had someone else make or modify. Like the front fenders. But most of the stuff isn't OEM so I'm not sure if it counts.

I'm not sure how rare the first three things are though. I haven't looked through this thread yet lol.

Oh yeah, and this intake elbow. I'm not sure what brand it is, I bought it from a guy years ago and finally got around to installing it when I changed the IC and piping.

I'm thinking that might be the elbow from the HKS V-Mount full setup. (Only way to get that elbow is to buy the whole V-mount setup if I'm not mistaken. Pic:

Indeed it does. It goes around the PS pump, but you have to move the relay box from the strut tower. Oh well, I've been wanting to do this for years lol. I was thinking it might be HKS too.

Yeah I think so too. It looks just like the one in that pic. It doesn't have any markings but it doesn't look like the one in the pic does either. I don't remember who I bought it from but I've always been curious what they did with the rest of the kit and why they'd split it up lol.

It's alright. I don't really care for the look of these things on a car with smooth lines like the FD, but the flaps do pull a bit of air down. It's not super noticeable though lol. I think the flap directs a lot of the air into the front part of the sunroof cavity because the flap lays back so far. I'll take a pic tomorrow. I got it because it's rare but also because I wasn't sure if I was ever going to finish reinstalling AC. I don't think this is enough of a substitute for AC though lol.

So I saw a guy on facebook somewhere over in Asia or Europe or somewhere, I really don't remember, but he posted the coin tray for sale several months ago. This was right around the time I was starting to buy more rare stuff. That all started when I was looking for the non-Bose rear deck, which I bought from a buddy in Vegas. Then I saw the plastic moonroof piece, then this thing. The moonroof piece and this thing I didn't even know existed before that. I thought the rear deck was pretty rare until I saw this other stuff lol. Anyway, I asked about buying it but it had already sold. I didn't think much of it until I visited my buddy in Denver a few months ago and he showed it to me. He bought the one from that guy LOL. Small world. I liked it and decided to look for one, and the guy in Japan that I got the sunroof visor from had one so I bought it too lol.

I hadn't planned on even using the moonroof filler piece, but I've had it installed since I bought it and I actually really like it. I kinda like having the sun completely blotted out instead of peeking through the glass lol. I guess I should probably get an aluminum sunroof since it's lighter and I can get the same benefit, but at least with this I can take it out if I want to see the sun.

I was actually wondering about that myself lol. I'm in need of a shifter to replace the C's, but I guess I'm a little too late.

The groove where the pin sits is beat to **** and it makes it sloppy. It might be a knockoff, I keep forgetting to look when I have it out lol. I replaced the bushing at the bottom and it's still a bit sloppy. I'd love to have a MS shifter since it has the replaceable groove bushing too.
