Ship the whole car. Unless youre the one pulling it apart and putting it back together, its not worth it IMHO.

Sounds like it's your car, so it's not importing, just transporting and that has a lot fees, taxes, duties charges+++ etc... If you do transport, it might be difficult to register like if Cali for instance.

You can always find out what the emmisions standard is and see if your car will match. Having an authentic Altezza out here would be dope, but if it cant pass SMOG then its not even worth it. Im sure you can find someone out here with a "good" shop to help you with that but if youre just tearing it appart to ship only parts youre still going to have to get a container to put it all in. Its not like the parts are carry-on lol.
