Default US Spec S2K in Germany

Has anyone brought a US spec S2K form the States to Germany? I am in the process of trying to move to Germany and I would love to bring my S here. I am worried about TUV stuff. I have currently been in Germany for 6 weeks and have seen exactly 4 S2000s, I am shocked at how few Japanese cars there are as compared to in the States.

I am also trying to find laws for tires in Germany but can only find information on winter tire laws. I am trying to find out if I can use R compounds (such as NT01s) or something close like RS3s on the streets here.

Did you ever get your questions answered? I'm currently in Germany at the moment and I plan to move here as well and I too would love to bring my S from the states.
Thanks.

TUV is not a pain in the ass if your car is fully stock.

Just check the following points.

Exhaust gasses (easy fix with a EU catalyst)
Headlights with automatic height correction. (change headlights)
Fog light (change left or right taillight)
Tires and wheels (forget the nitto tires, we don't have them here so the surely will not pass TUV, better be safe to change new tires bought from here)

Tires will need to be approved in the eu. (Marked E) Germans like slow german cars
