You probably won't find much if anything in Buffalo, or even Detroit for that matter. In any case, unless you plan on staying overnight (for several days), you will be charged duty on that stuff.

BTW, I have a OEM Type-R strut bar for sale. PM me or e-mail at jdm_rice@hotmail.com if you're interested.

if he bought all the stuff mentioned, and installed them, then drove back the same day, will he still be taxed for it? or will they even notice it?
just curious.

Most probably they won't notice it, because modified cars come in and out of the border. But say if he has like an unpainted body kit or lips on (basically something that is visible), they can question him if they really want to be ******** or if they know that a white bumper doesn't really go with a silver car...
