Kona,
I remembered this thread and found it for you. Looks like as of 2005, they didn't have a Prep center in Hawaii. My guess is they must have used Port Hueneme, then re-shipped onto the Islands. The additional "2 weeks" mentioned may partly be waiting and loading/unloading times.
Wonder what their process is from West Coast to protect the car like they do from Germany? Some winter storms lurk out there right now.
