i have to say this ..
i spent all day weds driving a RHD mr2 which is titled, and registered here in states . now he didn't do it but paid a shop a lot of money to get it legal and when i looked at it all they did was swap a US vin on it (dash) , and install USDM sunvisors otherwise car is pure JDM .. he got super ripped off on fees but oh well .. it has been fully inspected by cop shop inside and out ..with zero issues and he has been pulled over 5 or 6 times and RHD was never an issue .. the vin wasn't even welded to spot under dash it was just stuck on there .. i am not saying do a VIN swap but he has been driving car around for almost 3 years without issue and even drove across the US .. We even stopped to talk to sheriff at lunch in parking lot as has known him for years .. cops even said cool set up when he got pulled over .. there is no DOT police .. you just can't be a total dumbass when owning JDM CAR. the other guy with red GT4 has had zero issues with his car and he has it for almost 2 years .. Most cops could care less as long as vin checks out and matches that car they could give a hoot about rhd .. again not saying breaking the law at all but once car is in US and car was brought in as parts or listed as parts then DOT could careless about it .. any dreams of a fully legal (with jdm number) US GT4 is just that a dream unless you can do it as kit car .. or can wait 15 more years ... -------------------- Old guy with the toys
