Dude! You can get fined for shipping Kinder Eggs to the US I can't imagine what they would do if you shipped illegal car parts.

Of course. I also do that. I have a wall of things that I don't necessarily want to throw away but have and it's from cars/etc. My scion badges would go up there if I swap them for toyota for example.

I think they have heard every excuse for smuggling there is and doubt they fall for many.
If that law passes then we can expect the same within a year or so anyway.

Engine cover or catch cans?? I already have a PCV side catch can that doesn't collect much if any at all and will likely come out soon but now the question is do I make my engine bay look super clean with a nice cover or get radium dual catch cans?

Neither?

I'm not super concerned about blow by in a low mileage, naturally aspirated car that doesn't live at WOT, and I hate engine covers.

深い川は静かに流れる & 能ある鷹は爪を隠す are same concept, but different.

Just a 2 cents

I hand drew each character in google translate. If I understood correctly it more literally translates to something "The clever [bird of prey] keeps claws hidden."

Oops, I'm always behind the 8-ball.
