You need a temorary import permit if you plan on going beyond the frontier, which you will if your going to Creel. That being said it's hard to say what will happen if you don't. Sounds like MikeS got a little lucky IMHO. I've been checked numerous times in Mexico for the permit. Usually the police just see the sticker on your windshield and let you go. I think things could get kinda tricky if you put an ace in a Federally's pocket. I know they check your permit at the frontier after entering from Nogales, and also at AguaCaliente if entering from Douglass.
