Never used the auction proxy service though - and so far it looks like no other members have either. If I pull the trigger I will post on the experience.

Completely and totally cosmetic. I just did not like seeing the muffler hanging there and it blocks it a bit.
I have bought 100s of model kits from Asia and never been dinged once on duty/taxes. I have bought 4 from the US that were made in Japan and got hit for fees on all of them. It is bizarre how they pick what they are going to charge for.
