Toddy, the bumper modification is no longer required. There certainly is a much better selection south of the boarder and for that reason I too considered, even went to look at a few. I've imported other cars from Florida in the past but finally decided to purchase a CDN Crossfire rather than going south. Biggest reason for me was warranty, set aside the RIV fee, PST, GST (on their book value in CDN$, not what you paid for it in US$) air tax, and 9% duty, plus DRL and speedo conversion costs and delivery costs. Also, the depreciating CDN$ played a big factor. What ever you decide you're going to love the car.....good luck!
