This is exactly why I started the part time parts business. Trying to find stuff locally sucks!!!. Unless you can find someone selling a used one on here (occasionally in the Canadian for sale section) you will most likely be ordering it from the states. There are a couple guys that sell corvette parts locally in Ontario but if they dont stock it, the cost will usually be what you would pay ordering it yourself. Sorry I dont have better news for you or any Blackwings left in stock. I ordered 6 of them last year and they went fast...

(except about the part of having a part time vette biz!!)

try to find a decent used one if you can and just make sure it's not totally worn, all of those that you mentioned are re-usable so a quick cleaning and re-oil and you're good to go...

I just remembered...there was one guy selling just the halltech filter....offer him like $40 and you're groovin..you can utilize the stock air bridge for now, no point in spending another $120 just for that...

Get them to ship it via USPS as a gift-you'll save on brokerage and taxes.

Thats just slightly illegal and most reputable companies won't do it for fear of fines. A private seller can do that and 99.99% won't get caught.

You do not need to spend the redicules amount of money on these fresh air kits, i have done several conversions which will cost you $75.00canadian, go to your local canadian tire or auto supply store and have them order you a RF1040 K&N filter. it works just as good or better than some of these after market kits. its only for 2001 and up because of the 85mm maf. it clamps right on with no mods. and the air tube connection you order a 1/2" K&N push in filter. Max
