    Would really appreciate the information and if anyone has any experience having it done would love to hear what they think and whether it was worth it.

    Thanks,

    Autosport Designs in New York does it. Also, if you look at the US Customs website, there is a section with a list of all the authorized conversion facilities in the US.

    The cost is anywhere between USD 20k to 30k and can take upto six months.

    For a new model like the F430, you'd one of the first and it could possibily take more time and cost more!

    I would contact Dick Merritt, he is the man when it comes to euro cars.

    he's talking about the Republic of California, they do things their own way, to an extreme at times...........thats why he called it "anal CA".....
    for example anything you add or modify on you car is illegal unless it has an appropriate CARB sticker......and they luv to do tail pipe sniffer tests.....
    not pretty if you like to mod your car.....

    Yup. Thank you. CA has it's own strict (a.k.a. anal) laws.

    It's not sexual at all. Your guys' minds are in the gutter. :)

    Anyone know?????
