Youll be fine mad as long as your willing to pay a little extra $$ every safety inspection....dont get it downtown either. I have no cats and a grind cam, just paid a little more.

Awesome man, will do. I was quoted the 18th of Feb, but they said it always arrives earlier than that date. Just driving around I dont see much F bodies rolling around. Ive only seen one Firebird and it was in a for sale lot and it looked like it hasnt been touched in a long time. Of course there is a metric $hit ton of newer mustangs and Camaros.

You can get exhaust stuff done at RAD motorsports, they are pretty good. Safety inspection can be done anywhere. they will fail you if your car is lowered, tinted lights, wheels larger than 1" from factory and window tint darker than 29%. 35% is the limit but they will pass you as long as it reads above 29. I just got mine done at the hobby shop over by the NEX.

Has anyone on here shipped their car from Long beach to Oahu? How long did it take the ship to get to the port and the VPC to process the vehicle?

So a little less than a month for you. My car has shown that it is "In possession of the ocean carrier" for a couple weeks now...the "deliver by" date is 18 Feb so I am hoping with any amount of luck that it is already here.
